About

Hey, I’m Josh, a guy from Pittsburgh who got tired of feeling overwhelmed by sustainability.

For a long time, I thought living eco-friendly meant changing my whole life, spending a fortune on organic everything, and doing it all perfectly. It doesn’t. That all-or-nothing thinking kept me from making any changes at all, and I don’t think I’m the only one.

Eco and Pine is where I figure it out in real time. I share what works, what’s worth the switch, and what’s just greenwashed marketing.

What you’ll find here

• Green Cleaning: dish soap, surface sprays, and laundry detergent
• Zero Waste Home: kitchen swaps, recycling, and everyday habits
• Personal Care: deodorant, shampoo, and sunscreen
• Baby & Family: diapers, nursery products, and water bottles
• Garden: organic gardening and pest control without harsh sprays

What I’m not

I’m not a scientist or an environmental expert. That’s why I check claims against sources like the EPA and FDA, link to them in every post, and tell you the downside of every product I recommend. You can see my full process on the How I pick products page.

How the site stays free

Some links earn me a small commission, and the site shows ads. That never decides what I recommend. The details are on the affiliate disclosure page.
