Alright, now we have more reasons to stan Watsons.
The ethos of Watsons' LOOK GOOD FEEL GOOD campaign is THE COMMON GOOD: Good for the body, beauty, soul, as well as the community. It's nice to know that brands such as Watsons are starting to embrace the idea of holistic, connected beauty and that is beauty that radiates from the inner self and extends to the world.
Watsons takes their promise of good further by partnering with Plastic Bank on a mission to prevent 2.5 million plastic bottles from entering the oceans! More about this noble deed below!
In 30 years, there will be more plastics in the sea than fishes and that's not even counting the micro plastics that have accumulated over the years at the bottom of our oceans. Sadly, the Philippines is one of the biggest contributors to the plastic problem. I want you to know that even it doesn't seem like it, this plastic problem harms you in many ways. The seafood you eat, water you drink, waters you bathe in, they're all tainted and polluted by plastic and in one way or another, this will have a detrimental impact to your health.
Thankfully, companies like Watsons stepped in to help minimize plastic pollution. Through a partnership with Plastic Bank, Watsons aims to prevent 2.5 million or 50,000 kgs plastic bottles from entering the sea in the first 12 months of the campaign.
But even before the partnership, Watson has recognized their power to change the world by reducing plastic consumption and usage in stores since 2014; it started by banning the use of micro plastics in wash off cosmetics and personal care products from brands sold inside their stores, transitioning to clean beauty (cleaner, less unwanted ingredients), refilling stations and programs, sustainable and better packaging.
Hopefully, more companies and brands will join the sustainability bandwagon along with Watsons. It's time to make sustainability cool while we still have time.

Wow more of this sana from other brands too
ReplyDeleteWow. Ang galing ng watsons. I remember watching seaspiracy, and got more information on the culprits of plastics and microplastics accumulation at sea. Sobrang dami realizations that time and fear. At the same time knowledge each one of us can do our part to help stop sea pollution, what more big companies like Watsons. Sana lahat maging tulad nila. ❤️
ReplyDeleteI am currently switching to eco friendly products, from using shampoo bars and reusable pads and cottons, small way but big impact indeed. Sana more brands will make a switch too 🥰
