About Us

Check Your Eco is for people who want to reduce their impact on the environment but aren’t always sure where to start.  Many of us want to make more eco-friendly choices, but long days and busy lives leave little time for research.  When it comes to everyday products, there are hundreds of choices. It’s overwhelming.  

Inspired by our own quest to minimize consumption and make better choices for the planet, we want to share what we’ve learned to help others make small adjustments to things that they are already buying.  When you add up all of the small changes, it can really make a significant impact. Every change counts.  

Our selections featured here take into account how well each of these products works, as well as the way in which these companies run their businesses, the ingredients and materials they use, the sustainability of the product, and how they help reduce waste overall.  We test every product we write about and our opinions are our own.  We always prefer that you buy locally, if you can.  If that’s not possible, we’ve included links to the products we feature; using these links helps supports this site. 

We are Rachel and Greg, a sister-brother team from Vermont now residing in New York City and Los Angeles.  While we now live at a big city pace, we’ve tried our best to make the sustainable and eco-friendly mindset we grew up with in the Green Mountains part of our daily lives.  We believe that what’s healthy for the environment is healthy for you, too.  We hope that you find the content here helpful and welcome any thoughts you would like to share.  Thanks for checking us out!
