Earth Day is less than a week away (it falls on April 22, by the way!), and it’s a great time to enjoy nature and celebrate the world around us. It’s also a good time to raise awareness of issues that affect our environment and to take stock of our own carbon footprint. With that in mind, we’ve rounded up 15 eco-friendly, sustainable products you can grab on Amazon right now. From compostable cutlery to recycled glassware and electronics, these items can help you do your part to preserve our planet.

  1. Made of lead-free recycled glass, these hand-blown margarita glasses feature a colorful confetti design and can hold up to 16 ounces of your favorite drink. They also make fun vessels for shrimp cocktail, chips and dip, ice cream and other treats.
  2. This 350-piece disposable dinnerware set includes plates, forks, knives, spoons, cups and straws, all of which are made of compostable and biodegradable materials. It’s great to have on hand for your next cookout or pool party.
  3. These upcycled drinking glasses are made from wine bottles that have been collected from landfills and trimmed down to a tumbler shape. Each one holds up to 400 milliliters of liquid, and they’re dishwasher safe.
  4. Whether you’re washing dishes or scrubbing the sink, this pack of 12 plant-based cleaning sponges will come in handy. The two-layer design has a sponge made of compostable white cellulose on one side and a scrubber made of coconut fibers on the other.

  7. Keep your food scraps corralled with these 13-gallon compostable kitchen waste bags, which come in packs of 30. The handles tie together to prevent spillage, and the reinforced bottoms ensure that they’ll hold up to heavy loads.
  8. Made from plant-based fibers, this 230-count pack of compostable, resealable food storage bags is a nice alternative to single-use plastic bags. It comes with 80 snack bags, 80 sandwich bags, 50 quart-sized bags and 20 gallon-sized bags.
