5 Companies That Care About The Environment

Everyone loves a company that not only sells awesome products but also gives a heck about the environment. I mean, who doesn't love being able to rep a sweet outfit, clean your house, or enjoy a cup of tea guilt free? I know I do.

Lush Cosmetics

Lush is not only cruelty free and all natural, but they also care quite a bit about the environment. They try to minimize packaging as much as possible. They make solid shampoo, conditioner, and lotion to minimize the plastic packaging used and dumped into the ocean. But the packaging they do use is recyclable. They even offer incentives for customers to recycle: when you bring in five empty Lush containers to be recycled, you get a free product.

Patagonia

Patagonia has been setting the bar for sustainable and eco-conscious companies for a while now. They pledge one percent of sales or 10% of pre-tax profits, whichever is more, to environmental groups. They have also have an initiative called Worn Wear (wornwear.patagonia.com) that refurbishes and resells used Patagonia gear to lessen their waste. And if the garments are beyond repair, they recycle them.

Parkland Design & Manufacturing

A recent discovery of mine, and a lesser known brand than our others, Parkland is a bag and accessory company that makes their stuff from recycled water bottles. They are really high quality, simple designs that won't break the bank. They also don't use excess packaging when shipping the products. They don't arrive stuffed and in a box ten times their size; you get the product, not ten pounds of unnecessary paper.

Seventh Generation

Cleaning products aren't exactly the first things that come to mind when you think "sustainability". Most cleaning products are chemical-ridden environmental nightmares. But Seventh Generation is setting the bar for sustainability within the cleaning industry. All of their products are made from plant-based ingredients that are 100% biodegradable.

Numi Tea

Tea lovers rejoice! Numi Tea's mission is all about sustainability. They follow their products every step of the way, making sure everything is environmentally sound. They also have sustainable packaging, make regular donations to environmental groups, and track carbon emissions during the production process.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
