NO time to WASTE
 Recycling your PET plastic water bottles is good... but using a reusable water bottle is much better for the environment.
«More than 90 percent of the environmental impacts from a disposable
plastic bottle happen before the consumer opens it,» said Dr. Allen
Hershkowitz, a senior scientist at the U.S. Natural Resources Defense
Council. «Oil for plastic, oil for shipping, oil for refrigeration and,
in a small % of bottles, oil for recycling - sadly most PET bottles go
to landfills.»
As a rule of thumb, scientists say that you can fill a
PET bottle ¼ of the way with oil to symbolize how much energy goes into
every bottle.
Worldwide, over 60 billion tons of plastic waste is produced every
year. Plastic is particularly damaging because it is not biodegradable
and plastic particles eventually become part of the food chain - as
they have for example in our oceans. In some parts of the sea, there is
five times more plastic than plankton. Neil Seldman, a waste recycling
expert, has labeled our plastic problem as «potentially more dangerous
than global warming.»
But we can change this!
Using a SIGG reusable bottle is a smart and simple way to reduce unnecessary waste and to take better care of our planet.
In 2008, Newsweek published a report measuring the greenest
countries in the world - and Switzerland ranked #1. At SIGG, we
manufacture to the highest Swiss standards and are constantly on the
lookout for ways to further reduce our carbon footprint.
SIGG is also a proud member of 1% For The Planet,  donating 1% of our worldwide sales to protection of the environment. At SIGG, we walk the walk. |

Launch of Vitale blog!!
Any one that has had a quick conversation with Ananda will have experiened first hand her vast knowledge. She is now publishing a blog that has lots of juicy natural info.
She is also tweeting great info....
SLS, Hair washing and scalp health...
Following up from the previous blog on SLS, I thought I would mention
some of the issues that customers come in with after routinely using
commercial shampoo. And let me say for the record that many of the more
expensive "salon" brands also use SLS even though it is basically a
cheap, nasty ingredient. What it does do is produce bubbles, lots of
lovely bubbles! As consumers we have been programmed to expect shampoo
that foams - anything less and we think the product isn't working.
However, all a surfactant
(see previous blog for explanation) needs to do is break the surface
tension of the hair follicle and it will wash out all the dirt and oil.
A soap based product is needed but it doesn't have to foam at all! Read more and subscribe to the vitaleblog.org
