Another great option is Bare Escentuals. Their products are made with only certified organic ingredients and are paraben-, sulfate-, phthalate-, gluten-, and cruelty-free.

As more and more people take a responsible attitude towards consuming goods and services, they’re becoming increasingly aware of environmental issues.

To be environmentally friendly, we need to think about how our actions can affect the environment and avoid negative, destructive influences. Here are some ways to be more environmentally friendly in your daily life!

Reduce Water Consumption:

When possible, cut down on the amount of drinking and bathing. For example, if you’re taking a shower instead of a tub, save up to six liters at once, turn off the tap when brushing your teeth, and so on.

Regardless of how surprising it may sound, the best helpers in everyday life can be simple dishes that are better than the well-known ways to deal with a burnt frying pot, and with greasy stains.

With the growing trend towards eco-friendliness among consumers, it is likely that retailers will be working harder to create more environmentally friendly products. Here are some tips for making sure they succeed!

The average American generates four pounds of garbage per day. The packaging alone takes up thirty percent of that figure. In today’s eCommerce world, especially with companies like Amazon Prime, free shipping has become the rule rather than the exception.

Consumers enjoy the convenience of online shopping but it’s causing greater harm to our environment. As eCommerce continues to grow exponentially, consumers become increasingly aware and conscious about their shopping choices, especially when it comes to waste in their packaging.

As an environmentalist, why would you want to use non-eco-friendly packaging for your products? What can you do to make your distribution process more environmentally friendly?

Much of the degradation of our planet is related to our consumption habits. Everything we throw away is left somewhere on the planet and sometimes takes centuries to be degraded by nature. Reducing waste is fundamental to overcome the environmental crisis we live in.

Change must begin within our own homes through our actions and choices.

Bea Johnson the founder of the international movement “Zero Waste Home” in her book “Zero Waste: Simplify your life by reducing waste”, shares 5 easy steps to eliminate waste:

• refuse what we don’t need
• reduce what we really need
• reuse what we consume
• recycle what we can’t refuse
• reduce or reuse and compose everything else

So there are many things we can do to make our home greener and contribute to a more sustainable world. We leave you some tips:

Are you contributing to the destruction of our planet?

Plastic, particularly that found in various kitchen utensils, is one of the main factors that is contributing most to environmental pollution. It is estimated that every year about 8 million tons of plastic are generated and that in the year 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the oceans!

This reality will not change until each one of us, as inhabitants of this planet, decides to change the habits that favor the increase of environmental pollution, namely the use of plastic in the domestic environment.

Plastic bottles, plastic kitchen utensils, plastic shopping bags, plastic garbage bags, plastic film, plastic containers and plastic packaging are present in most kitchens contributing, without any doubt, to this increasingly alarming pollution scenario.

Plastic is NOT biodegradable, ending up piling up in landfills and oceans. Imagine the plastic garbage that you put weekly in the container. Multiply that garbage for 52 weeks and you will get an idea of the total plastic waste that your house generated in one year. And now imagine that total multiplied by billions of people!
