Today is the annual World Environment Day. It gives me great pleasure to write about the pioneers of ‘ethical shopping’: The Body Shop. Here are some interesting facts that you might not have known about them.

Five core values they stand for are:
- Being against animal testing
- Supporting community trade
- Activating self-esteem
- Defending human rights
- Protecting our planet

The Body Shop runs several campaigns where
one of the recent ones was: ‘Stop Sex Trafficking of Children and Young
People’. It was created to mobilise their customers and inspire them to take
action! ‘Your Signature Really Can Make a
Difference!’ attracted 7 million
campaign petitions! The amount of people supporting this cause rendered to a record
breaking entry in the history of the United Nations. Thus, it influenced 20
countries to commit to long-term legislative changes.

Another campaign includes ‘Being Wood
Positive’. The Body Shop is giving back to Mother Nature by planting and
protecting trees, whereas they minimise their primary, secondary and transit
packaging. It comes to show that The Body Shop is not
only about selling ‘green products’.
They are taking steps to make a difference
in this world by abolishing the negatives and bringing the positive and beauty
back into our lives. Go ahead, indulge a
little and support the Body Shop. It is after all World Environment Day...I
heard that the Coconut Body Butter smells amazing!
