In honor of Earth Day (even though we believe every day is Earth Day), we put together a list of some of our favorite creative tips to go greener on a daily basis!
1. Did you know that Americans use enough plastic straws to wrap around the entire planet Earth 2.5 times every single day? This is why one of our favorite ways to go green is to invest in a reusable straw that you can take anywhere. One of our favorites is Final Straw. Suck responsibly, folks!
2. Shorten your showers by making a playlist of (about) 3 songs and only shower for those 3 songs.
3. Always bring a reusable bag with you. You can use it for clothes shopping, groceries, etc.
4. Bring your lunch to work in a reusable glass container to reduce plastic waste.
5. Buy a reusable coffee cup and use it at coffee shops instead of their to-go cups.
6. Use machine washable cotton pads for taking off makeup instead of wipes.
7. Buy second-hand clothing to reduce your carbon, water and waste footprints.
8. Stop using beauty products with microbeads and glitter. Glitter and microbeads are made of small bits of plastic that eventually become microplastics that can fill our oceans and be harmful to our aquatic life.
9. Adopt animals, don't shop them. Head to your nearest animal shelter if you're looking to adopt a furry friend!
10. Use multi-purpose products to reduce box and bottle waste! Two of our favorite multi-purpose products are our B. Well castor and tea tree oil.
Our organic + cold-press 100% castor oil is naturally cold-pressed and rich in humectants, Vitamin E and Omega fatty acids that nourish the hair follicles and skin encouraging healthy, lustrous hair, eyebrows & eyelashes and hydrated, glowing skin.
Our organic + australian 100% tea tree oil is pure oil with antimicrobial properties that offer a natural, effective solution to help combat breakouts & blemishes and soothe a dry, itchy, and irritated scalp. It may also be added as a soothing boost to any Briogeo shampoo.
