Bella's actions
Lifestyle
Natural Fibers
When available, I will purchase clothing made with natural fibers, such as cotton, linen, or wool, rather than synthetic fibers.
Personal Care
See the Green
I will properly recycle used contact lenses and packaging.
Personal Care
That Was a Close Shave
I will replace my disposable razors with steel razors. Why not try using hair conditioner instead of shaving foam for that baby smooth feel?
Personal Care
Lather Up
I will replace my soaps, shampoos, and conditions with either a bar or refillable option.
Food
Minimize Packaging
I will purchase food items with the least amount of packaging.

Plant a Garden

Food
Takeout Pro

Pet Waste
