How does Verdure Planet help the environment?At Verdure Planet we work to provide premium eco-friendly products that are affordable, innovatively crafted and work to help our environment and surrounding community. We educate the public and private sector on sustainability and what you can do to be more environmentally conscious. We are going to release a new line of eco-friendly products in order to promote green living that helps to conserve energy and also prevent the creation of plastic, air, water, noise and light pollution. Climate change is projected to increase the frequency and intensity of extreme weather events, such as heat waves, droughts, and floods. It was reported years ago that severe storms, heat waves, the melting of glaciers and ice sheets will happen more frequently. These reports are now coming into fruition. At Verdure Planet we will participate in community hosted events that could include trash pick-ups and the distribution of eco-friendly products.

Is a sustainable lifestyle expensive?The short answer is that sustainable living can be expensive just as a traditional life style could be. It all depends on which products you decide to buy. Sustainable living only seems expensive because it would imply purchasing a lot of ethical products, and purchasing the newest trendy zero waste accessories. Sustainable living describes a lifestyle that attempts to reduce an individual’s or society use of the earth’s natural resources. The natural conclusion is that sustainable living is at odds with industrialization. Switching to an eco-friendly lifestyle doesn’t necessarily mean forgoing all luxuries either. It rather means becoming mindful of how your choices will impact the planet. By doing this you become more intentional with your time and your money. When you begin to live more simply and sustainably it’s only natural that you start to save more money. You could start by Growing fruit and vegetables, refilling drink bottles, not buying meat, buying second-hand clothing and even ditching paper towels.
