When it comes to protecting the planet, it's the small steps that can really add up to make a big difference. Lifestyle Expert Cathy Hobbs shares some lifestyle brands that are doing their part to help us help the environment.
Everyone has to do laundry, but if you wash your clothes in cold water, you can save up to 50% on your energy bill. Tide Coldwater Clean is asking everyone to take a pledge and switch to cold for seven days in honor of Earth Day. Find out more on Twitter #turntocold
Go Green from the Outside, In
We've all heard you are what you eat, but that idea holds true for what we put on our skin as well. You want it to be au-natural and good for you, too. Alba Botanica's Good and Healthy is a line of moisturizers actually fueled with green leafy goodness. We're talking spinach, kale and Swiss chard extract packed with yummy vitamins and nutrients, all for your face. Great for different skin types. Pick them up for just $9.99 at Target, Walmart, Whole Foods and on albabotanica.com
Another brand making a commitment to the environment: Avalon Organics. Their products are free of parabens, harsh sulfates and artificial colors -- and the ingredients aren't derived from petroleum or genetically engineered. Even better news for the earth, their beauty and bath line is biodegradable, and the bottles are made of recycled materials. All items are under $13 at Whole Foods and other natural foods stores, as well as avalonorganics.com
