Contented Company, Contented Earth: Ethical, Sustainable & Climate Friendly Small Business

Ethical and Sustainable Living as ethically and sustainably as possible has always been one of my core values. So when I started The Contented Company (and Contented Earth especially), I wanted those values to be at the core of the business too.  Whilst no-one can ever be perfect, making the best possible choice available at every decision is something I don’t take lightly – from choosing which products we stock, to how we handle your order, to how we get it to you, to how we try to have a positive impact on the world as a business.

🌱  63 Plastic Free & Reusable Products for Plastic Free July 🌱

  Plastic seems to be everywhere. At times it can feel unavoidable (especially in recent months), despite us all knowing that it takes between 500-1,000 years to break down.

Covid 19 - Humans 0 : Environment 1 Alongside the devastation of the Covid 19 pandemic and the subsequent lockdowns – sickness, death, loss, isolation, anxiety, depression and economic uncertainty, we have all seen the good news stories of environment recovery.

War on Plastic with Hugh and Anita: My Plastic in the Bathroom Audit

So who's been watching War on Plastic with Hugh and Anita? It's a compelling watch and clearly highlights the problem with our addiction to plastic.  If you haven't seen it already, make sure you catch up with it on iPlayer.  I'm not sure the word is 'enjoying', but what I'm appreciating is the programme demonstrating how easily plastic slips into our every day lives, very much unnoticed.  Last week's episode looked at Plastic in the Bathroom.  Did you know that 9/10 wet wipes contain plastic?
