Happy Saturday Ladies!
I was clearing out my stuff and came across some empty or near empty containers I was going to send to be recycled so I thought I’d quickly tell you about some recycling drives I’ve come across recently.
I don’t like the tags that accompany months or days like “Earth Day” or “Earth Hour” or “Go Green Month”. Wait… I’m not sure if the last one exists – it might be encouraging you to turn into the Incredible Hulk – who knows *shrug*
But I do appreciate the effort taken by some companies in being a bit more eco-friendly or in encouraging people to pause and think about the environment. Here are just a few I’ve run across lately.
L’Occitane – 1st Eco-friendly boutique at MidValley Megamall
The new concept store is more earth friendly by reducing the use of energy, water and using recyclable furniture & props. The use of FSC-certified (forest stewardship council) wood, silicone-free paint, water-based varnish and energy saving electrical equipment enables the store to save up to 40% electrical consumption. Oh and L’Occitane does refill packaging for selected items which is friendly on the pocket too!
Kiehl’s – Recycling Drive for empty bottles
I’m taking back 4 empty bottles to Kiehl’s to be recycled (I hope that means reprocessed and not refilled LOL!) and I’m told that I’ll receive a deluxe sample product as a thank you. You get product samples with every 4 full size products brought in, so be sure to hold onto the recycling card they give you! Tip: Hair and Body products finish up faster 😛
