April 22 is officially designated Earth Day, an annual celebration that recognises the need to protect the globe for generations to come.
It’s one of the biggest environmental dates on the calendar, where people are asked to consider recycling, use less plastic, reduce waste and generally look at ways they can make a difference.
Here’s just a few ideas on some purchases that you can buy that do their job perfectly – and are very planet friendly!
REVERSIBLE BIKINI TOP – PRIMARK, £7
Two for the price of one from Primark, which has created this stylish bikini top from recycled polyester. When you’re bored with the pattern simply turn it inside out – and you’ve got a completely different look. The matching pants are also available at just £5.
LINEN SHIRT – NEW LOOK £27.99
Linen is always a great choice of fabric. Not only is it cool to wear but it’s natural so hasn’t gone through any manmade processes – much kinder for the environment.
LUSH X LAZY BUDDY – LUSH. £12
This double bath time treat from Lush is just one of their many products. The company leads the way, with all of their ingredients ethically sourced and 100% vegetarian.
NYX PROFESSIONAL MAKE UP PALETTE – BOOTS, £16
Boots now has numerous vegan products – from food to skincare, from shampoo to make up. We particularly love this palette of colourful eye shadows from Nyx.
CHOCOLATE BATONS – HOTEL CHOCOLAT, £7
Dark chocolate has many health benefits in moderation, from delivering antioxidants and minerals to even helping protect you from heart disease. So tuck in with a clear conscience to these vegan batons.
PINK CREAM FAUX SHEARLING JACKET – TX MAXX, £39.99
All the style of a leather jacket – but without the loss of any animals. This stunning and purse friendly offering at TK Maxx is versatile enough to wear for both formal and casual occasion.
