POST CONSUMER WASTE CONTAINERS, RECYCLABLE LABELLING AND SOY INK!

 

You may notice that few manufacturers are as concerned with packaging as they are with content. Although it's easy to throw away the product's container when we are finished with it, not thinking about where it goes has huge environmental implications.

 

At Bare Roots, we promise to keep environmental sustainability on the forefront of every decision we make concerning the inside - and outside - of our products. By using post consumer waste containers and labels that you can recycle, we can cut down on the amount of garbage we produce and support programs and businesses that are choosing to be environmentally responsible. Soy ink is an alternative to petroleum based inks and aids the recycling of printed material as well as plastics. The cultivation of soy beans uses very little energy in comparison to standard inks.

 

We believe that the key to our success will be our ability to continue to learn, grow and change. Please help us be as up-to-date as possible by sharing your knowledge of new and better ways to positively effect our earth. Email us at mailto:info@barerootsorganics.com.

 

 PERSONAL EFFECTS

 

The staff at Bare Roots are not only committed to running a responsible business, but we are committed to living responsibly. We think that if we are going to "talk the talk" we had better "walk the walk". We are and will continue to make choices that will lessen our carbon footprint in our own lives. Please visit our blog and share your eco choices with us and we will be sure to share the things we learn along the way with you.

 

 REDUCE

 

Really, the best thing that we can do for the planet is to use less of it. At the heart of the environmental crisis is our consumer society. Here are a few questions you can ask before you buy: Do I really need this? Is there another product that would do the same thing but more sustainably? Where was this made and under what circumstances? Are the materials used to make this renewable and have they been harvested in a sustainable manner?

WHY CHOOSE ORGANIC?

Organic ingredients are profoundly effective, exhilarating to your senses, extremely less toxic to the environment and advantageous to your overall health.

 

You're only as healthy as what you put in, and on, your body. Organic products work in harmony with our bodies.

 

Organic ingredients nurture our skin and hair with wholesome nutrients that our body chemistry is familiar with.

 

We need to consider the effects of everything we do, from driving our car to turning on a light switch. And, since we all use basic body and home care products, going organic can become an easy way to keep our earth - and ourselves - in better working order.

REUSE

 

Because we live in a "disposable society," we are encouraged to buy a "new & improved" item even if the one we have can be repaired. When we buy, we should buy items that are durable, and we should maintain them and have them repaired when necessary. If we do this, many things can not only last a lifetime, but can be passed along from generation to generation.

RECYCLE

 

Rather than throwing an item out when you can't make use of it, have it recycled. And, while recycling is not perfect - it requires energy and the process of changing something into something else often produces by-products - it is better than sending goods to the landfill or having them incinerated.

 

Find out what types of materials can be recycled in your area. Clean and sort the materials before putting them out on the curb as often collectors will not pick up recycling that is mixed or contains non-recyclables.

 

GIVE THE EARTH A HELPING HAND...

 

Plant a tree! Trees can absorb and store huge amounts of carbon dioxide and generate oxygen while purifying the air we breath!

 

 

Request a non-toxic environment in your school. Examine your school's cleaning supplies, lawn care, supplies and pain. Ask your environmental group to come up with a list of environmental guidelines for the school.

 

 

Try companion planting, which combines plants that attract pests with plants that pests avoid.
