Reader, just because Zero-Waste Month is over does not mean the lifestyle ends there. It’s not a trend. It is a movement that will help us in the future.
In some ways, people are joining by simply doing the small things like making use of eco-bags, or bringing their own utensils to work. These are already making an impact. Small steps.
On that note, here are some of the many local brands we came across that might just help you further commit to the lifestyle.
Habit Cebu
This brand is formerly called Swap Cebu and sells sustainable and mindful everyday items. Its list of products includes packaging essentials, toiletries like shampoo and conditioner bars, bamboo toothbrushes, menstrual cups, and period panties.
More than that, Habit Cebu also shines a light on the needs of over 150 stray cats and dogs by selling the Pawsibilities bag. By purchasing this bag, patrons can help our furry friends at Cebu City Animal Care and Control, as 40 percent of the proceeds will be donated to them.
Check out their Facebook and Instagram pages.
The EcoGeek
Promising to help individuals reduce, reuse, and recycle the smart way, The EcoGeek sells products that do just that, some of which include natural cedar wood mothballs, knit fruit bags, and organic soaps.
More than that, its other goals are to provide tips and tricks, free workshops and events, and encourage its patrons to join them in their mission.
Check out their website for more details of the brand’s advocacy.
Green Shelf Cebu
In addition to scoring local finds like frozen products, healthy options, and stuff for pets, the shop also houses eco-friendly products like biodegradable cleaning essentials to personal items like combs and natural loofahs to name a few.
Visit the shop at Banilad Town Centre, and check their Facebook and Instagram pages for more updates.
Comfort Cup Cebu Menstrual Cup
Switching from sanitary napkins to the menstrual cup can sound daunting at first. This online shop not only sells that. Through its social media posts on Instagram, viewers will be able to learn more about the menstrual cup, from its benefits to steps on how to use it—while also debunking some myths for those looking to try.
The shop does same-day delivery within Cebu City. They’re also available on Shopee.
