As A Global Society, Our Livelihood And The Health Of Our Planet Depend On The People Who Live In It.
Now is the time for the unstoppable courage to preserve and protect our health, our families, and our livelihoods by creating opportunities for our ecosystems to recover. Earth Day 2022 will mark the 52nd anniversary of this holiday; this year’s theme, “Invest In Our Planet" was created to encourage governments, corporations, and private citizens to take concrete steps toward following more sustainable practices, buying from responsible companies, and taking more of an active role in the Earth’s wellbeing. Celebrate with us by appreciating and respecting nature and the environment. Here are some ideas to inspire you this year.

While the beauty industry has long been one of the worst offenders in polluting the earth and draining natural resources, there’s been a positive turnaround over the past several years, as numerous brands have made a concerted effort to adopt more sustainable practices and look beyond the surface in helping to revitalize damaged ecosystems.
