This year's World Oceans Day is devoted to thinking about ways to protect the oceans from plastic waste. In light of this, this article is devoted to some of our eco-friendly grooming products, as well as products that come from brands committed to continually improving their environmental practices.
Why we should be buying more eco-friendly products
In the middle of the Pacific Ocean there is a floating raft of plastic waste that covers twice the area of France. Pollution on such a vast scale has consequences which are beyond measure, causing adverse effects both for wildlife and the environment. As well as this, plastics are capable of absorbing large quantities of toxic chemicals, and when discarded plastics re-enter water sources used by livestock and people, this can lead to our bodies accruing dangerous levels of poisonous chemicals over time. For these reasons, it's never been more important to take steps to reduce the amount of plastics that we throw away.
Aside from plastic waste, greenhouse gas emissions and chemical pollution caused by manufacturing of many of our favourite products contribute to damaging the environment. It's for this reason that manufacturers who strive to reduce their levels of chemical and plastic waste, and limit the greenhouse gases involved in producing and shipping their products should be celebrated and encouraged.
