Seeking advice: are there any good "green" merch options for creation these days? Tote bags have been proven overproduced and a problem so not an option, the endless water bottles make me want to die etc Is there any merch you've been genuinely valuing and enjoying? Help, please!

I don't mind a tote bag, but my main issue with them is that most are such bad quality. And yeah, not necessarily "green". Other than a nice tote, the only merch I ever used is a nice print of a book cover illustration - not the cover, just the illustration. So pretty I framed it on my wall.

Pens are always handy and I have a cork and recycled plastic pen I got from a publisher at lbf

Themed food - you eat it and it’s gone so no waste or clutter. Or for something more permanent I’m a fan of a challenge coin like this one from @99pi.org for their book

Cover shot of ‘The 99% Invisible City: A field guide to the hidden world of everyday design’. A challenge coin designed to look like a manhole cover sits on top
