Friend,

EWG is all about giving you simple, easy ways to live a cleaner, healthier, more sustainable lifestyle.

To kick off the holiday season, we’ve compiled some of our top tips, including our 2020 Holiday Gift Box, featuring products handpicked by EWG staff and scientists to help you make sustainable swaps in your daily routine.

To start, check out EWG’s groundbreaking report on PFAS chemicals in food wrappers. These common chemicals are used for their nonstick and grease-resistant properties, but some are linked to cancer, reproductive problems and thyroid disease. Our Holiday Gift Box features a reusable silicone food storage bag from Stasher, so you can skip PFAS-laden disposable food wrappers.

EWG’s one-of-a-kind Tap Water Database catalogs more than 270 contaminants across nearly 50,000 water utilities in all 50 states. Check out our Water Filter Guide to find a filter certified to remove contaminants in your tap water, and use the Klean Kanteen insulated tumbler in EWG’s 2020 Holiday Gift Box to take your filtered water on the go.

Nearly 60% of kale samples tested positive for dacthal, a possibly cancer-causing pesticide, according to this year’s Shopper’s Guide to Pesticides in Produce™. Consult EWG’s popular Dirty Dozen™ and Clean Fifteen™ lists to avoid produce with high levels of pesticides, then take home your healthy fruits and veggies with the organic cotton canvas tote bag, and cook a plant-based meal from Bryant Terry’s “Vegetable Kingdom” – both items featured in this year’s Holiday Gift Box!

And there’s a lot more in this year’s Holiday Gift Box, including a GROVE Collaborative “Bubble Up” soap dispenser and dish brush set, Klean Kanteen stainless-steel straw with a silicone tip, an organic cotton face mask, some of EWG’s top tip sheets, and coupons!
