What is the real price for beauty in the 21st century? It seems while many women are open to recycling , many admit they do not do other things to reduce waste. In fact, 77 percent of women, according to an O.B. survey in April 2008, say they do not help reduce waste, thus contribute more to our ever-increasing problem – trash & toxins.
Being beautiful can also be green by using all natural beauty products, reducing the amount you use every day and selecting recyclable packaging.
