These Eco-Friendly Products are an Absolute Must

Sustainability practices, eco-friendly products, eco-friendly packaging are all factors eco-conscious consumers, like you, are keeping in mind before making a purchase...and rightfully so!

With stats like the following, we all need to make sure we are doing our part to keep Mother Earth a beautiful place to live for generations to come… 

• Americans use 2.5 million plastic bottles every hour - most of which are thrown away.
• Plastic bags & other plastic garbage thrown into the ocean kill as many as 1 million sea creatures every year.
• There was a study performed by the U.S. Centres for Disease Control that showed nearly 93% of people tested positive for BPA (a potentially harmful chemical present in plastic products).

But remember, it only takes one person to make a difference - and we all need to be doing our part to make a change and be that difference.

Live by example, inspire change in others, and together, we can help make a difference as a collective community.

Eco-conscious living is no longer just a fad, it’s a way of life. And it’s a lot easier than you might think!
