Sustainable Swaps for Earth Day

Nespresso Yes-so!

The café line by Nespresso is not only plentiful in a variety of flavor selections but also inclusive in the sources for farming their pod product. The ESG measures and potential additions to this company’s model of Sustainable capitalism are off the charts—and not to mention effective. Their global community inclusivity is a factor that is socially measured, integrating smallholder farmers and artesian coffee growers in the supply channel. Environmentally, the company recaptures used aluminum pods in the “we recycle” program. Perks this Earth Day include a free recycling bin with an online purchase. The governance of this brand highlights the collaborators for each specialty coffee blend in their online blog and is a great way to generate a switch toward better consumption practices.

Diva cup

Diva cup reduces the constant waste of biohazardous material through the usage of a silicone cup to capture menstrual fluids. The recent developments of their ESG factors are demonstrated in their recent partnership to convert old cups into upcycled running tracks and pavements for playgrounds. Considering the swap, but do not know what to do with the old day tampon? Donate those bad boys to a local university hygienics pantry for economically disadvantaged students.

Loopstore Market Place or B Y O Long Beach

Most interesting about the recent sustainable options are the shifts in shopping markets. Many brands have set about offering fully immersive experiences of sustainable shopping. These shops offer unique products and many of the necessary items used for compartmentalizing loose raw materials. Also, the Terracycle collection bins are often present at these sites to promote the collection of wasted articles. In my area, Bring your Own Long Beach offers these options for the Southern California region.
