We Practice What We Preach….
This is how each of us makes a difference in the environment:

We believe that small actions can have a big impact!  So here’s a few tips from us to you...

Grace-  “The products I use at home are eco-friendly, without chemicals, derived naturally and bio-degradable.  Urban run-off is the number one ocean pollutant, especially in Southern California.”

Tamera-  “We re-use the paper bags from Trader Joe’s over and over again to save materials.”

Ani- “We recycle at home.  A family can reduce the amount of waste they produce significantly just by recycling their plastics.”

Heather- “I purchase travel size personal care items only once and I refill them because this is cost efficient and environmentally responsible.  I also use Energy saving bulbs at home, which is so important in California.”

Michiko-“I carry my Aveda organic tote to the store to save on bag materials and I also recycle cans at my house.”

Renee-  “I purchase items in bulk which saves on materials and I re-use plastic containers instead of plastic bags.  Also, a tip for homeowners, set your sprinkler system to water at dusk for 20 minutes.  Watering after the sun goes down slows down evaporation and setting a timer prevents unnecessary run-off from over watering.”


TAKE ACTION NOW!

BULGARIAN LAVENDAR-
*SMALL FARM- BIG IMPACT*

From the Bonchev family to you, our organic lavender creates a chain of connection and change.  For fifty years the Balkan Mountain regions suffered extreme poverty and political oppression.  Their nearest bathing facility is over 60 miles away due to water shortage.  Through Aveda, one day a man was able to re-purchase his family’s flower distillery and the neighboring community was sustained by employment on the land.  Aveda’s products are created from natural plant and flower essences, often these ingredients are rooted in rural areas that are being sustained simply by harvesting their crops.  Each bottle can be traced back to the soil it’s ingredients came from.  The people in the Balkan Mountain region are better off and so is the soil-cultivated without toxic fertilizers and pesticides.  Be a part of that connection, experience the potent, pure aroma straight from the family.

EARTH MONTH IS HERE…
Everyday is Earth day at Aveda, but every April we celebrate our planet with our signature cause for the Earth.  This year our call to action begins with an element so central to our industry and our lives we almost take it for granted: water.  Our Earth Month 2007 goal is to help children and communities most in need of clean water around the world and to help protect local waters.
Since 1999, the Aveda network has donated over $6 million to various organizations working to affect positive environmental and social change.
