11 Sustainability Links – Week 14

Patagonia, Fur Closed In Germany + How To Save The PlanetHello, how are you? 

I’ve just received a delivery from one of my favourite sustainable shops. Acala is my first stop for all things bathroom and beauty. Hanna and the team do an amazing job of curating a useful and beautiful selection of zero waste and plastic free beauty and body care. This time I’ve ordered a refill for my Zao mascara, a clear nail varnish, a biodegradable soap dish and a body brush. They also do a great selection of DIY beauty for the ultimate natural bathroom.

Below are your sustainability news and links for the week. The second link is an insight into Patagonia no longer happy to be fronting the corporate world which I found interesting.
