>>> WELCOME BACK. SINCE IT IS EARTH DAY, AND LIKE
WE SAID AT THE TOP OF THE SHOW,
OUR NEW ADULTING CHALLENGE IS
JUST TO DO SOMETHING THIS WEEK,
AND HOPEFULLY, FOREVER FOR THE
EARTH, TO HELP OUR ENVIRONMENT.
WE'RE LEARNING ABOUT A FEW ECCO
FRIENDLY HACKS YOU CAN USE IN
YOUR BEAUTY ROUTINE.
WE HAVE DEB HAYNES HERE.
SOME OF THESE, I HAD HEARD
ABOUT.
ABOUT.
ABOUT. I'M HOPING THIS WILL BE THE
PUSH THAT I, AND PEOPLE AT HOME
NEED.
NEED.
NEED. SO
NEED. SO WHERE DO WE START?
>> LET'S START HERE WITH
RECYCLING.
RECYCLING. THAT'S SOMETHING WE ALL KNOW WE
SHOULD DO.
SHOULD DO. ONE OF THOSE THINGS, WHAT DO I
COULD WITH ALL OF THESE
MASCARAS, I JUST THROW THEM IN
THE TRASH.
THE TRASH. NO.
NO.
NO. HASHTAG OR GOOGLE WANDS FOR
WILDLIFE.
WILDLIFE.
WILDLIFE. YOU SEND THEM BACK, AND THEY
RECUSE LITTLE CRITTERS OUT OF
THE FOREST, AND THEY USE THE
WANDS TO COMB THROUGH THEIR
LITTLE HAIR, TAKE THE LITTLE
BUGS AND STUFF OUT OF THERE.
>> JUST IMAGINE I WAS A LITTLE,
JUST A LITTLE CRITTER.
I MEAN, THAT FEELS NICE AS A
HUMAN.
HUMAN.
HUMAN. THAT HAS TO BE REAL, BECAUSE
DEB SAID SO, BUT THEY'RE THE
CUTEST PICTURES OF LITTLE
ANIMALS.
ANIMALS.
ANIMALS. >> LITTLE POSSUMS AND
SQUIRRELS.
SQUIRRELS. THEY JUST LAY THERE AND THEY
LOVE IT.
LOVE IT.
LOVE IT. THAT'S ONE THING YOU CAN DO FOR
SURE.
SURE.
SURE. ANOTHER THING, PACIFICA BEAUTY,
WHO IS A LOCAL COMPANY, SO
THAT'S A PERK.
THEY'RE PLASTIC CONTAINERS,
MOST OF THEM ARE RECYCLABLE.
YOU GET PERKS FOR IT.
THEY GET TURNED INTO
TOOTHBRUSHES, RAZORS, AND RAZOR
BLADES.
BLADES.
BLADES. THEY WORK WITH PRESERVE, WHICH
IS ABOUT PRESERVING THE OCEAN.
>> THAT'S COOL.
>> SO THEN YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT
IT.
IT.
IT. >>
IT. >> ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS BUY IT
AND RECYCLE IT.
>> AND NAIL POLISH.
DON'T EVER THROW IT IN THE
TRASH.
TRASH.
TRASH. HOLD ONTO IT, MARCH THROUGH
NOVEMBER, METRO DOES A
RECYCLING PROGRAM.
RECYCLING PROGRAM. THEY'LL TAKE IT FOR FREE.
DON'T THROW IT IN THE TRASH.
>> I BASICALLY KEEP ALL OF MINE
FOREVER, BUT IF I EVER DECIDE I
WANT TO GET RID OF THEM.
RECYCLE THEM.
RECYCLE THEM. >> NEXT, WE NEED TO REDUCE OUR
COMMON FOOT PRINT.
ONE OF THESE IS THE COSMETIC
CONTAINERS.
CONTAINERS. I USE IT FOR MY JEWELRY.
SOME BOTTLES, I JUST REFILL
THEM WITH WATER.
>> OH, YEAH.
>> A LITTLE SPRITZ AND STUFF.
THAT'S ONE WAY TO DO IT.
THEN ANOTHER THING IS, DO YOU
KNOW THAT WE THROW AWAY 2
BILLION DISPOSABLE RAZORS EVERY
YEAR INTO THE LANDFILLS.
2BILLION.
2BILLION.
2BILLION. >> THAT'S A LOT.
>> SO LET'S NOT DO THAT.
LET'S GET A SAFETY RAZOR.
THERE'S A LITTLE BIT OF A
LEARNING CURVE.
LEARNING CURVE. >> IT'S REALLY PRETTY.
>> ISN'T THAT PRETTY?
IT'S PRETTY.
IT'S PRETTY. BE CAREFUL.
BE CAREFUL. THERE IS A LEARNING CURVE TO
USING IT.
USING IT.
USING IT. THE OTHER THING TOO IS SAY NO
TO COTTON BALLS, AND COTTON
SQUARES.
SQUARES.
SQUARES. I KNOW IT'S HARD, UNLESS
THEY'RE ORGANIC.
THEY'RE ORGANIC. THERE'S SO MANY CHEMICALS AND
SO MUCH WATER USED TO MAKE
THEM, YOU DON'T NEED TO DO
THAT.
THAT.
THAT. I
THAT. I LIKE THESE, THESE ARE
ACTUALLY MADE OUT OF BAMBOO.
THEY'RE KIND OF A DOUBLE DUTY.
THEY'RE NURSING PADS.
>> THEY'RE SO SOFT.
>> YOU CAN USE THEM FOR MORE
THAN JUST TAKING THEM.
>> I JUST WASH THEM.
I JUST ORDERED SOME OF THESE.
THIS IS GOING TO BE MY ADULTING
THING THAT I'M COMMITTING TO.
I USE WAY TOO MANY OF THOSE
COTTON THINGS.
COTTON THINGS. >> REFILLABLE PACKAGING.
COSMETIC COMPANIES ARE DOING A
LOT OF PANS CAN JUST PUT THEM
IN.
IN.
IN. YOU
IN. YOU CAN ONLY GET THIS AT ROOMY
SAMONE.
SAMONE.
SAMONE. THEN MY FAVORITE, WHICH IS THE
BLUSH ON BLOCK, A REFILLABLE
SUNSCREENMENT LOCAL COMPANY,
REFILLABLE, AND IT'S MINERAL.
ALL OF THOSE CHEMICAL
SUNSCREENS ARE KILLING OUR
CORAL REEFS AND KILLING OUR
FISH.
FISH.
FISH. SO
FISH. SO YOU'VE GOT TO
