Origins Hooks You Up for Earth Day
Earth Day is almost here and I’ve enjoyed watching so many beauty brands get involved to help raise awareness.
Recognizing that ‘product packaging accounts for 1/3 of all landfill waste,’ Origins is encouraging consumers to recycle. They are even willing to do it for you. Bring in your empty cosmetic and toiletry products to any origins store or counter nationwide (any brand) and they will recycle it. Origins will even treat you to a free sample for your environmental efforts.
As if that’s not nice enough, as part of their Origins Rocks Earth Month initiative they offering some additional really amazing incentives to recycle:
On Earth Day, April 22nd bring in an empty bottle (any brand) to your local Origins store and they will give you a new full-size Origins Cleanser (A Perfect World or Checks and Balances). Get there early, it’s only while supplies last!
