Why your purchase of a better product in the bathroom means improving the planet
As responsible consumers, we can make a substantial impact on the health of our planet through the choices we make when purchasing goods. By being cognizant of the materials used in the products we buy and the methods by which they are produced, we can play an integral role in reducing our collective carbon footprint.
Opting for sustainable materials and environmentally-friendly production practices can significantly contribute to the protection of our planet.
Additionally, it is important to support companies that are committed to sustainability and reducing their environmental impact. By aligning our purchasing power with our values, we can work towards securing a healthier and more sustainable future for generations to come.
Consumers have the ultimate purchasing power to improve the planet! At ecoHiny, we're here to help you do just that.

What Does it Mean to be Sustainable?
A sustainable company is one that operates in a way that minimizes its negative impact on the environment and society while simultaneously promoting long-term economic and social well-being. Essentially, a sustainable company seeks to balance financial success with a commitment to social and environmental responsibility.
The U.N. Commission on Environment and Development has perhaps one of the most commonly cited definitions of sustainability. Their view is that sustainability means developing goods and services for the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Sustainability is accomplished by addressing one or more components that potentially affect our world.
When companies focus on sustainability, they're often working to improve an aspect of our environment, such as reducing chemical use, protecting forests, and improving animal welfare.
Social and economic concerns are also addressed by companies that work to develop a fully sustainable model. Job creation, fair pay, and optimal working conditions all fall into social and economic categories.
Sustainability also takes into account the full life cycle of a product or service, from production to disposal. When a business focuses on sustainability, they strive to minimize any negative impacts at each stage.
When a product is made sustainably, it is created with minimal disruption or harm to the environment. All steps of its origin and production are carefully and intentionally taken to protect the planet and its inhabitants.
As the consumer, where do you come in?
Consider Shopping Sustainably
Since products can have a widespread impact on human health and the environment, there are some pretty significant benefits of using eco-friendly products.
Buying sustainable products means:
- Less exposure to toxic materials
- Reducing air pollution
- Reducing water pollution
- Impacting climate change
- Conserving natural resources
- Protecting ecosystems
When you shop sustainably, you're buying an overall healthier product. Eco-friendly goes hand in hand with natural and chemical-free. You're also showing support for those businesses that care about you and the environment. Another perk is that you'll often find that these products are higher quality and more unique.
Getting a superior product that's better for you and the environment is something every consumer should want!
How Does ecoHiny Help?
Manufacturers have come so far in producing clean, eco-friendly products. There are options for every facet of your life! At ecoHiny, we're especially excited about the sustainable swap you can make in your bathroom. Here's why it's important.
Perhaps one of the most significant environmental dangers today is the emission of greenhouse gases. These gases, like carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, along with certain synthetic chemicals, trap Earth's outgoing energy.
They absorb light, which prevents it from escaping Earth's atmosphere. This causes temperatures to rise. Over time, this continual trapping of energy piles up and becomes harder and harder to remove.
Some natural occurrences are responsible for the release of greenhouse gases into our atmosphere, but human activities, especially in recent decades, are being cited as a growing concern.
Our major greenhouse gas emitting activities include:
- Transportation
- Energy
- Livestock farming
- Crop fertilization
There's one more: deforestation. One of the most tragic examples of increased greenhouse gas emissions is the human destruction of our hardwood forests. Trees help regulate carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, and as the trees diminish, CO2 increases.
We lose millions of trees every year for the production of consumer goods. One of the biggest culprits? The traditional toilet paper industry. American consumers flush 27,000 trees per day down the toilet, but ecoHiny is here to change that.
Switching to 100% bamboo toilet paper means helping to bring a halt to deforestation. We don't need trees to make T.P.!
Bamboo is a grass. When bamboo is harvested to make products, its stalks, or culms, are cut, leaving the existing root system to regenerate. Bamboo will simply grow back without the need for replanting, and it does so at an impressive rate. Some species of bamboo can grow several feet in just one day!
This process is vastly different than harvesting hardwood forests that must be replanted and take decades to replenish.
Other incredible characteristics that make bamboo super sustainable:
- Requires less water to establish and maintain
- Higher absorption of carbon dioxide than wood trees
- Harvesting doesn't disrupt ecosystems
- Doesn't require the use of fertilizers or pesticides
Our product makes use of bamboo's superpower of sustainability.
