ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Sustainable products

Sustainable products are items that are made and used in a way that helps protect our planet and its resources. Think of the Earth like a big sandbox- we all want to play in it and have fun, but we also need to make sure we're not using up all the sand or breaking any of the toys. That's where sustainable products come in!

When we talk about sustainable products, we mean things that are made in a way that doesn't harm the environment. For example, if we want to make a toy from wood, we need to make sure that the wood was grown in a responsible way. That means the trees weren't cut down faster than they could grow back, and the people harvesting the wood were paid fairly and treated well.

When we use sustainable products, we're making choices to help take care of our planet. This might mean buying a reusable water bottle instead of using disposable plastic ones, or choosing to ride a bike instead of driving a car.

So, in a nutshell, sustainable products are things that are good for the Earth and help us keep playing in our sandbox for a long time!
