Earth Day

Pixar’s Wall-e tells the heartwarming story of the last robot on an earth that has become ruined with waste and pollution, as he carries out his one function. To clean up the waste. All humanity has long since left, and all his fellow robots have long since rusted away. He, Wall-e, is left on a desolate planet that is unrecognisable to the one we all know as earth, in what seems a futile effort to save a planet that is beyond hope.

Obviously, there’s more to the story than that. It’s filled with laughs, tears, suspense, and joyous relief, but I won't get into that now, I'll just advise anyone who hasn't seen it to give it a watch. It is absolutely lovely and heartwarming. So lovely and heartwarming that it almost seems it has convinced the human race to recreate the plot of Wall-e in real life, by upping our levels of waste, slowly turning our once blue and green home into the brown and slightly darker brown hell-hole we see in the movie. However, if this is the collective decision we’ve come to, I feel some of us may have miss understood the underlying themes of the film.

The Themes of Pixar’s 2008 Animated Oscar Winning Film: Wall-E

• Waste isn’t good
• Consumerism at the expense of the environment isn’t good
• Letting these things destroy our planet, making no effort to prevent it, isn't good

Obviously, as a business, we really like it when you buy products from our site. But we are o so aware of the environmental damage running a business like ours can cause. From creating waste to Co2 emissions. So we actively run our business in a way to prevent these problems and fight other environmental dangers posed by the rest of the beauty industry. From using recycled and recyclable packaging, to donating a percentage of our profits to organizations that can use that money to make the planet a better, greener place.

So with our efforts to become a greener company that we are proud to run, and you are happy to buy from, it’s only right for us to make alittlelot of noise about this upcoming Earth Day.

This coming Sunday, the 22nd of April, it is the 48th annual international Earth Day. A day organized by the Earth Day Network, dedicated to promoting, educating, and inspiring people to learn more about the problems our planet faces and the ways they can help to make a positive change.

On the first Earth Day back in 1970, 20 million Americans took to the streets to protest the damage that 150 years of unchallenged and unquestioned industrial development has had on the environment. With every passing year, the movement has grown and grown, empowering more people to stand up and take action. It has helped pass environmentally progressive laws and acts, popularise the modern pro-environmental movement, and gotten over 200 million people in 141 different countries to fight for a future that is free of excess waste and pollution.

This Earth Day, the Earth Day Network wants to spread awareness about plastic pollution. Plastic waste is threatening the survival of our planet by littering our public spaces and clogging up our waste streams and landfills, where they stay for anywhere between 20 and 600 years, causing huge harm to our many eco systems.

The Earth Day network want to help to put an end to this by educating the citizens of the world and mobilizing them to demand action from their governments, to put in place laws and legislation that will make the biggest change to the amount of plastic waste caused by different mega industries.

You can learn more about their efforts here., find out what you can do to help, and take your own pledge to reduce waste and help make a big difference.
