What Should You Consider In Your Eco Cleaning Products?

Impact Beyond the Bottle!

Eco cleaning products – there is what they’re made from, AND the impact they’re having beyond the bottle.

There are many fantastic  brands like Koala Eco and KOH cleaning products with their non-toxic ingredient list, and Propre Skoop and Skoosh products hits the top of that list too…but what’s their impact beyond the bottle?

The Facts.

Did you know that rainforests are the lungs for our earth? And over 50% of our global forests have been lost, to date. Even scarier, the latest figures show we are losing 18.7million acres annually. That’s about half of the Sydney area…destroyed. Every year. 

We all have a responsibility for the footprint we leave on this earth. It’s understandable this can be overlooked on a daily basis when we have kids, family, jobs and life to juggle. Caring for our planet gets pushed further down the list. Let’s face it, it’s overwhelming, and full of too many choices. Where to even start?

    So what do we do?

    Start Small. Small changes can be made in your everyday life, starting in your household. Eco friendly cleaning products in Australia are the simplest (almost non-emotional) purchase in your household you can swap-out. Supporting a brand whose aim is to be carbon neutral, eco-friendly, non-toxic to our ecosystem, families and pets. That’s a great place to start!

    Choices Choices.

    The choices can be endless and overwhelming. Supermarket shelves are stacked with natural cleaning products, but which ones are better? Which natural floor cleaner actually cleans the floor? Which natural toilet cleaner truly kills all the germs? And why are they all so darn expensive? It can be confusing ‘going green’! 

    So start with what’s important to you…

    Is it price? The Ingredient List? Convenience? 

    One criteria you mightn’t have considered the impact your purchase is having beyond the bottle.

    Impact Beyond the Bottle

    Don’t listen to Kermit, it’s actually Easy to be Green.

    Products like Koala Eco give back to conservation organisations, but imagine being able to track becoming a completely carbon neutral family just by changing your cleaning product choice! Let us tell you how!

    Propre Cleaning products were created alongside the organisation Footprint Free.

    They’re a foundation that really cares about change, and wants it to be simple. They’ve started an initiative where you can literally buy back your carbon usage.

    You can fund the replanting of trees with $1 of every bottle of Propre Skoop and Propre Skoosh products funding Footprint Free.

    You can save our old forests and you don’t even  have to chain yourself to a tree in protest.  Simply switch your cleaning range to Propre’s eco-cleaning products and you’re done!

    Over time Footprint Free will reward you with your very own CONA!  

    What is CONA?

    One CONA  (carbon dioxide notational allocations) is 1 tonne of CO2 taken out of the atmosphere. Trees take in the bad gases (carbon dioxide) and turn them into nutrients. So, a whole gang of trees together are a big deal for air quality. The big old ones especially, and their eco-systems under the canopies! They can literally churn through tonnes of this stuff.

    Of course, if masses of trees are getting wiped out every year… it’s not great news for the fresh air we need to breathe!

    Footprint Free are protecting these beautiful trees by replanting and regenerating them in places like the  Daintree rainforest. The more CONA you bank up, the bigger chunk you protect from the rainforest. 

    $1 of every bottle you buy, contributes to your CONA allocation.. You can get together with your friends or family and swap out and become CONA owners too!
