I love my Planet – Green Lifestyle Tipps
Advertising. This article was written in friendly cooperation with Yves Rocher.
Lately, I`ve been looking for better, more sustainable ways. One of the best decisions so far was going vegan. Using less plastic and producing less environmental pollution is what I want to tackle next. I love it when brands offer solutions for me and the planet. Like Yves Rocher does with the new environmentally friendly, paraben-, silicon- and preservative-free I love my planet shampoo concentrate. Not only is the flacon one-third the size of a conventional bottle of 300ml, there are more benefits:
-
- 💧1 Press = 1 Dose
-
- 🌳 1 bought product = 1 planted tree
-
- ♻ Flacon 100% recyclable
-
- 🥤 39% less plastic compared to 300ml flacon
And you guys know how picky I am about my shampoo. For those who don’t know: I don’t wash my afro that often not to strip the natural oil away. Every 2-3 weeks is perfect. The Yves Rocher I love my Planet is my favorite shampoo for a mild cleansing every month or so. It comes in a small recyclable flacon. Which is perfect for traveling and lasts up to 30 washes, which means it canl last over a year for me. Whoop! 🙂 Additionally, to my vegan lifestyle and buying vintage clothes, this is a great addition to a more sustainable day to day life. Below I put together some small actions that can make a big difference for the environment and our pocket. What are your tips for a more sustainable lifestyle? Just leave your green lifestyle tips here or on Instagram, and I will add them to the list. Let’s Go!
