Make the switch to these featured GREEN household products to make your daily rituals more eco-friendly.
From breakfast to bedtime, London Drugs has a huge array of products to compliment your day-to-day while keeping in mind the environment and the creation of a sustainable future. By making small changes in personal product choices, you may be able to lessen your own environmental impact and carbon footprint to benefit the earth.
Make your before breakfast to-dos greener by using Tom’s of Maine Anticavity Toothpaste with Flouride. Not only does Tom’s strive to use renewal resources in their products, but also is constantly working towards the ‘greening’ of all business practices like manufacturing and packaging. Tom’s recent switch from aluminum to laminate tubing has resulted in lowered raw materials and energy usage, contributing to their notably low carbon footprint.
The next step in your day is whipping up a breakfast meal, and packing some light snacks to get you through the day. Opt for Nature’s Path Organic Crunch Maple Sunrise Cereal or their Organic Chewy Granola Bars available in flavours like Peanut Choco, and 
Pumpkin-N-Spice. Nature’s Path uses certified organic ingredients and also boasts many eco-friendly practices at their offices. This includes a sophisticated composting practice, and rainwater harvesting to lessen their environmental impact of doing business.
It is estimated that 1.5 million tons of plastic waste is produced by bottled water every year. Do your part to lower this waste pollution by switching to a reusable option like the SIGG Water Bottle that comes in a wide variety of colours and patterns to suit your own style. Free of any harmful chemicals, these bottles are made to last. In addition to meeting these healthy standards in production, SIGG is also working towards raising the standards for environmental performance through various upgrades throughout processing.
Bamboo is the latest material to be regarded as eco-friendly due to its growth properties without the necessity for pesticides, fertilizer, or even much water. Make your cooking or baking practices more sustainable with a London Drugs Bamboo Cutting Board. While maintaining the strength and durability of a regular wooden cutting board, the renew-ability of this naturally occurring resource is what makes this product so eco-friendly, and a good choice for a greener lifestyle.
After cooking always comes cleaning, and London Drugs has an assortment of products that will make your cleanup routine more ‘green’. Opt for cleaning products like Seventh Generation Natural Dish Liquid that – as the name suggest – hope to remain sustainable for generations beyond our own. Seventh Generation boasts about their business model, which in comparison to other has over the span of one year saved over 77,000 trees, 28 million gallons of water, and prevented over 200,000 cubic feet of solid waste in landfills. Each year, Seventh Generation aims to build on their prior achievements in all areas of their operations.
