You may think tomorrow is simply the start of a new month, right? Sure, it is the first day of August, but it’s also Earth Overshoot Day. Not sure what that means? Read on.
Basically, we’re using up more of the planet’s resources than can be replenished in a year. Although we’re only 8 months into the year, tomorrow (August 1st) we would’ve already used up all of Earth’s resources for 2018. At this dangerous rate, we’re going to need to clone another earth by 2030 to support us.
The word is out and many are jumping on board to keep our beautiful planet’s resources intact. From entire cities ditching straws to celebrities sharing their commitment to the cause, every small act of love counts.
In honor of Earth Overshoot Day, Love Beauty and Planet has created a #SmallActsofLove video that shows how simple it is to preserve Earth’s resources in small, but meaningful ways that can have a big impact. Not only have they developed an eye-opening clip, they practice what they preach.
The bath and beauty brand’s in-shower products are made with 100 percent recycled bottles and recyclable packaging. They also use a special glue to ensure that labels tear away cleanly from the bottle during the recycling process to ensure they get a second life. Plus, their delightful fragrances are infused with ethically-sourced oil or extract that are obtained from a responsible sourcing program that supports the ecosystem and livelihoods of the farmers and communities who grow them.
Love Beauty and Planet products are available, here.
Just when you thought you couldn’t respect this brand more, it gets better. Love Beauty and Planet is working together with The Recycling Partnership to help transform a U.S. city’s recycling system – making it easier for more of its residents to recycle, and recycle well. The brand is contributing $40 per carbon ton of greenhouse gas emitted during the creation, manufacture, and distribution of their products to The Recycling Partnership to improve recycling solutions that ultimately make residents’ everyday lives and health of our planet better.
As a mother, I want the best for my kids. That’s why I do my best to preserve our beautiful planet’s precious resources. For example, we only use reusable bags for groceries and use refillable water bottles instead of plastic ones. It’s up to all of us to keep our planet clean, bountiful and vibrant for generations to come!
What are your #SmallActsofLove to help preserve Earth?
So true and sad! This is a great cause that we all should support.
Thank you for highlighting!!
Thanks for your comment, Miriam! We can all do small things that’ll make a big impact towards preserving the earth.
