Earth Day is usually celebrated with outdoor
performances, where individuals or groups perform acts of service to earth.
Typical ways of observing Earth Day include planting trees, picking up roadside
trash, conducting various programs for recycling and conservation, using
recyclable containers for snacks and lunches. Some people are encouraged to
sign petitions to governments, calling for stronger or immediate action to stop
global warming and to reverse environmental destruction. Television stations
frequently air programs dealing with environmental issues.
The April 22 Earth Day, founded by Senator Gaylord Nelson,
was first organized in 1970 to promote ecology and respect for life on the
planet as well as to encourage awareness of the growing problems of air, water
and soil pollution. You can find more information about Earth Day here.
Cosmetics and skincare are products most females use on a daily basis, which also means they can have a huge impact on the environment!
You can start demonstrating your support for environmental
protection by using eco-friendly cosmetics from a brand that truly cares. LUSH
guarantees beautiful, fresh and effective products, while working to reduce at
a maximum our impact on the planet.
A great example of LUSH’s care for the planet and the
communities is Lush Charity Pot.
The Charity
Pot project (where all proceeds, minus GST, go to charities) enables
fantastic support for grass root causes. Since the launch in 2007, sales of the
hand and body lotion have raised over $1.4million for over 500 groups working
in conservation, transport,
environmental issues, animal rescue and protection and human rights. Examples of the
groups we’ve supported include: Human
Society International, Music Outback, Fundacion Fauna de la Amazonia, Sea
Shepherd, Positive Change for Marine Life, Men of the Trees, Australian
Marriage Equality, Rize of the Morning Star etc.
The Lush Charity Pot contains a hand and body lotion is made
with skin-softening cocoa butter and almond oil to make your skin feel lovely,
and it has a scent you’ll want to sniff all day long. Every penny that you pay
for it - excluding the GST, will go into our Lush Charity Pot Fund, which is
then given to the various organisations we support. Each pot has a label on it
telling you a little story about one of the charities, good causes, and
hand-picked groups that Lush has supported. You can find out more about the
projects Lush is currently supporting with this money, by visiting the Lush Charity Support page.
RRP: $8 (45g), $14.50 (95g), $32.50 (240g) – Available from Lush stores and Lush Online
