Not everyone can afford to have designer hand towels, gold-plated soap dispensers and other outrageously priced items in their bathroom, but most people can afford to live an eco-lifestyle with a bathroom that’s appealing to the eye and light on the wallet.

For all you green shoppers out there, I’ve compiled a list of accessories that you can purchase to help make your bathroom the environmentally-savvy place you always wanted it to be. And once you start in the bathroom, you won’t want to stop greening your other rooms!

Towels
