Though Earth Day doesn’t have the same sort of mass appeal as Memorial Day or Labor Day, it has become another opportunity for stores to put things on sale. That’s especially true at Amazon, where there are deals on AeroPress’s reusable coffee maker, celeb-approved “clean” mascara, and fragrance-free cleaning products from Seventh Generation. And at Nordstrom, some summer essentials, like tank tops and swim shorts, are up to 60 percent off.

AeroPress XL Coffee Press
$65
$65

An extra-large version of the AeroPress is 30 percent off. It can produce six shots of espresso-style or two cups of regular coffee in one go.

Bagsmart makes some of our favorite packing cubes, so I trust that this portable, reversible jewelry organizer will also be an excellent addition to your carry-on. (Or just your closet door.)

Another value-size deal: A nine-and-a-half-ounce bottle of this Rio-approved toner is just $16. “It’s affordable and a humectant without creating that sticky, tacky feel,” she writes, adding that it does an “equally good job of calming inflammation and redness (whether that be breakouts or just cold-weather flaky bits) as it does moisturizing my skin.”

Many of us may have moved on from using Thayers’ witch-hazel toner on our faces, but it’s actually a really good treatment to prevent razor bumps.

Lots of Seventh Generation’s ecofriendly cleaning products are on sale at Amazon. This is the best plant-based laundry detergent — and it’s also safe for sensitive skin as it’s fragrance-free.

I’m eyeing these dishwasher pods, which are just $11 per pack (or just over 24 cents per load).

Continuing on the “clean”-beauty train, this Aly and AJ Michalka–approved mascara is 30 percent off. Self-described “mascara freak” AJ says it “has a great wand” and “gives a lot of coverage because one side is a primer and the other side is the mascara.”

I spotted a lot of Nike on sale at Nordstrom. Here’s a surprisingly nice-looking polo that you can use as your subway shirt on the way to the gym, or to complete a “blokette” ensemble.

The classic Air Max 90s are beloved by cool teens and celebrities alike. They’re on sale in black and white at Nordstrom, and if you want a few more colors options, head on over to the brand’s website, where they’re also on sale — just not as on sale.

If Nikes aren’t your jam, I also noticed these Hokas for nearly 30 percent off.

Cute swim shorts for tweens are 50 to 60 percent off, depending on which pattern you choose.
