Earth Day - Buy Well, Buy Once
Today is Earth Day and to help support this special day we want to talk about something that we are very passionate about. It is well known that we live in a disposable society, the rise in fast fashion and this growing need for the ‘newest’ and ‘best’ products means people are buying and throwing away more to keep up with trends. This trend of shopping is damaging the planet and your bank balance! This Earth Day we want to help change the way society shops.
From the very beginning Natural Baby Shower has believed if you buy well you will only have to buy once. We go on the hunt for the most sustainable and durable baby and family products on the planet so you don’t have to.
Investing in quality and durable goods is the most sustainable way to shop. If you buy well in the first place you can buy products that will last you a lifetime. Well produced products made from high quality materials will last for years, making it possible to be passed along to siblings and friends.
