Many years ago, Kate and I developed a Stewardship Model for Tom’s of Maine in order to codify all of the natural, sustainable practices we were already following—such as only using natural ingredients and never testing on animals. The Stewardship Model sets out very specific standards for natural, sustainable, and responsible practices, and guides all of us every day in our decision making. Kate and I also feel that a commitment to sustainability should be incorporated into all areas of the company—not just the product formulations. Let me share just two examples: our packaging designer, Jack, purchases only post-consumer-waste recycled and recyclable materials and soy-based inks; and my Director of Product Supply, Mark, had some great ideas about using renewable energy sources, so in 26, we began purchasing wind energy credits to offset 1% of our factory’s electricity needs.275 ✅ Answers? Favorite AnswerI recycle, grow many of my own vegetables (without pesticides and herbicides), maintain my home so that it is as energy efficient as possible, purchased a new high efficiency washer and dryer pair (uses less gas to dry because washer spins clothes better), keep my tires on my car properly inflated (increases gas mileage), flush my hot water Read more

I have one motto when it comes to putting things on my body 'If I won't happily eat it, then I won't ever put it on my skin' When commercial 'natural products' live up to my standards, I will reconsider them. In the mean time, the items that I have in my food cupboard are about the best I can do. Better for me, much better for the environment and better for people who are exploited in the production of commercial 'natural products'. Tell a sweatshop worker in a developing country that natural organic cotton is good for his/her health, wealth, community and well being.

My bf asked me to post this. He works construction and they said there was a 33 mph crosswind, he was wondering what the term means. I thought maybe it means winds are coming from different directions? If anyone knows the answer - we would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!5 ✅ Answers? Favorite AnswerYes there is a difference.Wind is the flow of air or other gases that compose an atmosphere (including that of the planet Earth). A crosswind is any wind that is blowing perpendicular to a line of travel, or perpendicular to a direction. In aviation, a crosswind is the component of wind that is blowing across the runway making a landing more difficult than if the wind were blowing straight down the runway.Wind can be flatulence. Crosswind could be a real angry smelling one!Wind is wind movement of air headwind ,tailwind,crosswind are all directions of air travel for them to announce a crosswind they should have been speaking of a specific spot or location . Example( drive with caution north and south bound on I 35 between mile markers 1 and 130 due to very heavy crosswind of 33mph)2Crosswind is a component of wind. You have head wind, Read more

Im working on my extended essay and I would like to know to what extent are recycling industries (such as the paper industry, lead-acid car battery industries, etc) authentically sustainable. What are your arguments ¨for and against¨? thank you✅ Answers ? Best Answer All of them involve some new materials. Only a certain percentage of the paper can be made from recycled paper and the recycled paper is of degraded quality so it isn't sustainable as it always needs new mulch. Lead Acid batteries involve grinding down the plates and putting them in new plastic enclosures, some plates can't be ground down any more and are replaced with new plates and the old plates sent to a metal recycling shop. It still takes new material to recycle batteries so they aren't sustainable. What recycling does is stretch out the material, they aren't truly sustainable but they make the industry more sustainable or rather less un-sustainable. - Chosen by Asker They are sustainable because without them, the stuff would pollute the environment and ruin the ecosystems. like sea animals will die trying to eat plastic stuff. people can cut their feet on sharp cans and etc etc, and the chemical leached Read more

Many years ago, Kate and I developed a Stewardship Model for Tom’s of Maine in order to codify all of the natural, sustainable practices we were already following—such as only using natural ingredients and never testing on animals. The Stewardship Model sets out very specific standards for natural, sustainable, and responsible practices, and guides all of us every day in our decision making. Kate and I also feel that a commitment to sustainability should be incorporated into all areas of the company—not just the product formulations. Let me share just two examples: our packaging designer, Jack, purchases only post-consumer-waste recycled and recyclable materials and soy-based inks; and my Director of Product Supply, Mark, had some great ideas about using renewable energy sources, so in 26, we began purchasing wind energy credits to offset 1% of our factory’s electricity needs.275 ✅ Answers?

240 ✅ Answers? Favorite AnswerMy grandmother's lap and company information, ingredients lists, store cupboard.The problem with so called 'natural products' is that they often are not natural at all. I have one motto when it comes to putting things on my body 'If I won't happily eat it, then I won't ever put it on my skin' When commercial 'natural products' live up to my standards, I will reconsider them. In the mean time, the items that I have in my food cupboard are about the best I can do. Better for me, much better for the environment and better for people who are exploited in the production of commercial 'natural products'. Tell a sweatshop worker in a developing country that natural organic cotton is good for his/her health, wealth, community and well being. Natural store cupboard ingredients are not perfect, but they are the best I can do for myself, others and the natural world. They are the best and simplest solutions and cheapest too. **************** Edited to Add *******************Where do I find the most helpful information about natural products I refuse to use BECAUSE there is no way I would eat this, why would I put it on Read more

My bf asked me to post this. He works construction and they said there was a 33 mph crosswind, he was wondering what the term means. I thought maybe it means winds are coming from different directions? If anyone knows the answer - we would appreciate it. Thanks in advance!5 ✅ Answers? Favorite AnswerYes there is a difference.Wind is the flow of air or other gases that compose an atmosphere (including that of the planet Earth). A crosswind is any wind that is blowing perpendicular to a line of travel, or perpendicular to a direction. In aviation, a crosswind is the component of wind that is blowing across the runway making a landing more difficult than if the wind were blowing straight down the runway.Wind can be flatulence. Crosswind could be a real angry smelling one!Wind is wind movement of air headwind ,tailwind,crosswind are all directions of air travel for them to announce a crosswind they should have been speaking of a specific spot or location . Example( drive with caution north and south bound on I 35 between mile markers 1 and 130 due to very heavy crosswind of 33mph)2Crosswind is a component of wind. You have head wind, Read more
