From her epiphany moment to her environmental activist awakening, that episode was proof that our generation is becoming the part of the climate change conversation and it’s about time that we here in Dubai do too!!

Ignoring the booty coffee, the initiatives that Infinity takes are pretty LIT; as Infinity decided to live a zero-waste life full of:

• Metal straws
• Reusable plastics
• Compost bins
• Hand-washing her own clothes

…Managing to fit her year’s waste in one mason jar. Plus, her eco-friendly ways to go zero waste are all very do-able.

4. A set of 6 biodegradable, Compostable Toothbrushes with Soft Charcoal Bristles so you can have shiny white teeth *and* a shinier planet.

Promising review:

“My family and I love these brushes! We’ve had them for several weeks – the bristles seem thinner (hard to explain) and able to get in between my teeth easier. I am using the same toothpaste as before, but my teeth feel much cleaner afterward. Just like I came from a cleaning at the dentist. I thought they were pricey at first, but you get 8 brushes. We will repurchase.”

Buy the set of 8 from Amazon for AED 64.52.

Promising review:

“I tried other masks and felt suffocated. I decided to try this one and what a great product! Comfortable to wear and easy to breathe in. I read up about the product on their site. Their masks have been certified and tested by various laboratories around the world. Very safe product to buy in these strange times.”

Buy it from Amazon for AED 79.00.

2. A Sleek Compost Bin you can keep next to your kitchen sink, witha charcoal filter trap and an easy-grip handle and a flip lid that prevents odours from wafting out.

Promising review:

“This stainless steel compost bin is amazing! The lid has a washable foam filter that miraculously keeps the smell contained. I have a bad habit of buying “good intentions” (aka fresh produce) which often goes bad before anyone thinks of eating it, which is what started us on the composting kick anyway – we were tired of watching all the produce get wasted so we started a compost tumbler for our veggie gardens (will this become a vicious cycle? ?‍♀️). I was using a 3lb coffee can but found it would rust the can before I finished a new can, plus it stunk up the house within a day! I have produced in this bin for several days and can’t even tell! I bought a second for my mother because it works so well!”

Buy it from Amazon for AED 126.92.

1. A HIGHLY recommended Eco-Friendly, Plant-Based Laundry Detergent (Biokleen) you’ll especially love if you have sensitive skin — it’s made with natural, organic, and biodegradable ingredients.

Promising review:

“We’ve been using this detergent for probably 10 years. I buy a case at a time. With an HE washer, you only need one tablespoon of the detergent. Out of curiosity one time, I labelled a box to see how long it lasts us. We are a family of three who probably do a load a day (thanks to one messy kid and a very active lifestyle) and one box lasts about three months! A case lasts us about 3.5-4 years, so it is an amazing value. I will also add that the smell is very pleasant, almost non-existent, which is very important to us because of headache issues with strong smells. And the detergent works fantastic…gets out stains and does not fade clothes. Highly recommend.”

Buy the pack of 8 from Amazon for AED 63.41.
