Beauty Society needs your help PLEASE READ
Some plastics are rarely or never recycled, even when a curbside recycling program accepts them. These plastics are not only a threat to the environment ending up buried, in our oceans and washed up on our beaches, but they are a serious threat to your health as they break down into harmful chemicals. Beauty Society Salon a certified Organic non-toxic hair salon in Malta NY is building on it’s commitment for responsible recycling. Beauty Society is beginning a plastic recycling brigade for charity. By sponsoring an ongoing brigade for recycling, we hope to bring more awareness to this worldwide problem. Plastic is a pollutant that cannot be ignored anymore it does not break down in the environment. Our throw away lifestyles have created havoc on the environment and ourselves. Some people may not have a concern for the environment but everyone knows someone who has had cancer. At least two thirds of all cancers are proven to be caused by environmental factors. Plastics are a major concern, especially in the beauty industry, it is among the worst polluters in the modern industrialized world depositing billions of bottles in landfills every year. We do carry the world’s first salon products that are packaged using biodegradable fruit and vegetable cellulose. However, this is just one company. In homes everything you bring in practically has some sort of plastic packaging. Many of these plastics are hormone disruptors. These disruptors can cause cancerous tumors, birth defects and other developmental disorders. Plastics do not break down and are found in our lakes, oceans, wash up on our beaches being detrimental to our marine life. We then eat fish and other animals contaminated by the plastic and drink the water contaminated by plastic. In 2009, a U.N. joint commission estimated that 6.4 million metric tons of plastic waste currently pollutes our oceans. We need to re think plastic. We buy it, bury it, burn it, toss it and ignore it-it cannot be ignored anymore.
