Reuse Intervention

Oi you, Bag Lady!

by admin on November 6, 2010

Yes, I’m talking to you!  Have you ever pondered how many plastic bags our not so small industry waists each month?

If 500,000 stylist or therapist opts out of using just 15 plastic bags for one month, they could prevent as many as 7.5 million plastic bags going to landfills!

Shocked?  You will be when you read what I have to say about one of the most harmful issues we’er faced with just now. I made a promise to myself I’d make you aware of how much you throw away that could actually be reused and also what those items you do throw away are doing to wildlife, sea life and us!  I’ll let you in on 18 industry specific initiatives on how you can run your salon or day spa far more cost effectively, and in a way that the planet will thank you for.

Every day, each and every one of us wastes countless precious resources such as energy, water, paper and plastic.  I want to share with you an abundance of tips on how to reuse those resources, therefore minimising your carbon footprint.

And there’s more good news as well.  If you follow my tips, you’ll save a shed load of money in the process and be running your salon or day spa in a green and ecologically friendly way.

Don’t worry, I’m not going to suggest you hang your used teabags on the washing line, or have the whole family bathing in the same two inches of water.  No, my advice is useful, practical, easy to follow and above all, is actually worth doing!

So come on, what are you waiting for?

You will be astounded at what you can actually reuse in the day to day running of your salon or day spa. All you need to do is to take that first step and read my manual.  Prepare to be amazed at how little effort it actually takes to start saving the planet, not to mention your hard earned dosh.

You’ll never know them, those kids in the future who’ll inhabit planet earth.  But you can bet your ass they’ll be thanking you for it. (Unless they’re those ungrateful little buggers like I was as a child right?).
