Once again we find ourselves celebrating EARTH DAY. But what does that really mean to us, and our planet? What are the lengths we are willing to go to, to preserve and protect it from human inhabitants - who by far - seem to do it the most harm.
This is not an easy topic to navigate, as not everyone believes that global warming and climate change is real. But here at Ever Bamboo - we believe that kindness to the planet, and doing our share to mitigate a big carbon footprint - is a growing part of our responsibility as human beings. Attempting to do so however, can be so overwhelming that sometimes folks feel powerless in how best to navigate these challenges. So we thought we would start right here where we are - at Ever Bamboo - and share a few things about our products that can help you make a better choice.
REDUCING WASTE:
This one simple thing can have such a huge impact on sustainable living. Simply reducing the amount of products we use (especially ones that contain toxins, scents and chemicals) can drastically reduce waste and harmful substances that pollute the air. Ever Bamboo charcoal pouches are made of ONE ingredient. Bamboo!
Bamboo is one of the most rapidly growing plants in the world, some species grow up to 3 feet in a single 24 hour period. And did you know that harvesting bamboo actually stimulates its growth? Well it's true. The more you harvest it, the faster it grows - making it an incredible renewable resource!
REUSE:
One of the reasons Ever Bamboo is so earth friendly is that our bamboo charcoal pouches can be used and reused for up to a year. By simply placing the pouch outside in direct sunlight for 2 hours on each side once a month - the pouches are reusable for up to a year! No need to grab a new pouch each time there is a stink! By simply caring for the pouches in this manner, they will continue fighting must and odor for up to 12 months! Pretty cool, right?
RECYCLING:
This alone can be so powerful. After a full year of use (reducing and reusing) Ever Bamboo Pouches can be cut open so that the charcoal granules can be released right into your garden or terrarium to regulate moisture in the soil! It's honestly like the gift that just keeps on giving. And we feel good knowing a one time purchase goes on to have so much use!
There are so many simple things we can do in our everyday life to care for our planet. We can choose glass over disposable plastic. We can invest in cloth napkins and diapers and do away with paper and plastic. We can mindfully choose renewable energy sources such as solar power and windmill power. And we can choose to forgo fast fashion for vintage or gently worn/used clothes to greatly reduce landfills. We can use recycled paper, fabrics, boxes and waste. We can even buy in bulk! ALL of this contributes to a lesser footprint in our everyday living. And all of it contributes to a healthier planet and happier humans, plants, and animals.
Pollution and waste have a ripple effect. Plastics in our water supply disrupt the circle of life in the ocean. Cutting down and burning through the amazon forests disturbs micro climates and the animal and plant life that ultimately depends upon them. But if we as individuals do even one thing from the suggestions above - the collective effect will be substantial.
