To what extent are recycling industries sustainable?

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?

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 have 4 bites on my legs 1 on my foot and one on my hand and arm. what makes them so rediculasly itchy?8 ✅ Answers? Favorite AnswerIt's proteins in the mosquito's saliva, which it injects in order to prevent the blood from clogging.As these proteins are destroyed in temperatures of over 45°C, a method is to hold a not-too-hot cup of coffee or tea against the bite for about a minute, then it won't ever itch again.
