Verified: Make It Work
Workout | DIY Peloton
“There’s no need to spend thousands of dollars to get an amazing workout at home. I got a Sportneer Trainer Stand ($129.99, Amazon) for my existing mountain bike, a Wahoo cadence sensor ($39.99, wahoofitness.com), a CooSpo armband heart rate monitor ($45.99, Amazon), and the Peloton digital app ($12.99/month). We saved more than $1,000—and my sanity—during Covid!”

“I use a $40 Ikea table that attaches to the wall and folds flat. Cheap and easy!” Bjursta wall-mounted drop-leaf table, $39, Ikea

Innovation | r.Ware by Effect Partners
“I’ve been lucky enough this past year to be introduced to a company called Effect Partners. They designed a reusable cup called r.Ware for stadium venues that provides a zero-waste solution for beverages at concerts. When the pandemic hit—no concerts—they pivoted this technology and business into a reusable takeout container called r.Ware. It’s to-go packaging for restaurants, but outfitted with a QR code that consumers use to make those units traceable so they can be retrieved, washed, and reused. I see it as the future in reducing waste and providing even more sustainable options for the environment.” rware.com
