The NAME

Black or White? Neither. Cos these days, it is no longer easy to tell which is the correct way and which is wrong. Especially in the areas of sustainability, is a new cotton tote bag better than a disposable single use plastic bag? Is an electric car better than our regular car that runs on petrol? But what about the end of life battery? What are the ‘costs’ of their disposal and will it cost the planet more than what it replaced?

More often than not, we really have no answer. As a consumer, we do not have the means to measure or verify the true life cycle costs of a product that we buy or use. Our biggest fear is that we jump into new solutions only to create a bigger issue later, unintentionally.

Nothing is black or white….we may never know which is the best solution. So the mantra that we follow, is as Sir Attenborough suggests, just don’t waste.

Reuse what we already own to the maximum they can offer, repurpose or upcycle if they serve a good new purpose, else rehome to better hands. All else fails, recycle if viable, if not, please dispose and not add to unnecessary carbon and load to the recycling chain.

Buy what we need and want, but do that mindfully. Choose quality, something that will last and we will enjoy for a long time. Let your dollars have a voice for your choice and our planet.

These are guidelines we remind ourselves…and strive to do better at. And we hope this bar gives all of us a gentle nudge to LOOK UP, evaluate impacts in a bigger picture so we can all make the best informed decision.

Essentially a simple bar with the usual goodness, but a deeper meaning, Suitable for face and body.
