We already talk about it a lot, it's true! Figures such as Greta Thunberg , Dominic Champagne and Autumn Peltier (do you know her? At 15 years old, this member of the First Nations campaigning to protect drinking water) makes noise to raise awareness and raise awareness among our leaders. And so much the better: their flame makes us want to improve, to pose as models for the youngest and to make informed consumption choices. I asked the members of the ELÉ Quebec editorial team to tell you about their favorite brands that are taking concrete steps to make a difference. Here they are!   Our favorite allies The Lush brand collects our empty jars. After bringing five empty jars to a Lush store , we leave with a free fresh mask. And the company reuses these pots! Same principle at M • A • C , where we get a new lipstick when we bring back six empty tubes. For its part, L'Occitane en Provence, in collaboration with TerraCycle, collects empty containers in its partner shops. So they don't end up at the dump. The most beautiful? Those of other labels are accepted too!   +   At the café-repair My neighborhood workshop in Villeray, you can enjoy a hot drink, borrow tools and get help to repair a broken object - and thus avoid buying something new. We want it everywhere, right? +   Les Trappeuses invite us to make homemade products! All their recipes, like that of the anti-aspi and zero waste coffee grounds exfoliant, are on their site.   + H&M accepts all our fabrics and clothing in stores, regardless of the brand and their condition, against a discount to use at our next shopping session. As for what we have entrusted to the Swedish chain, a second life awaits it, by being postponed or recycled.   +   What do we do with our old winter coat? The Montreal brand Norden offers to take it back for a voucher to repair and resell it or give it to someone in need. And if the garment is irretrievable, it will be 100% recycled.   +   Zara has set up the Join Life clothing collection, which allows us to bring back items that we no longer wear. The house donates them to non-profit organizations, which reuse them.   +   L'Escale verte is an eco-responsible social economy company that sells all kinds of ecological and zero-waste products (beauty, household maintenance, etc.), in addition to providing filling services.   +   The following pages are filled with information, ideas and initiatives that I hope will inspire you too.
