2022 ECO AWARDS: THE WINNERS
“You cannot get through a single day without having an impact on the world around you. What you do makes a difference and you have to decide what kind of a difference you want to make.”
—Jane Goodall
Every single day, what we do, what society does, either helps or damages our collective home, Mother Earth.
As the days and months tick by, it’s glaringly obvious: we must up our game.
Like switching to a solid shampoo bar (lots of good ones around these days!), getting the plastic s..t out of your kitchen (see this year’s Eco Home winners for fresh laundry inspiration), chipping in at your local beach clean-up, committing to supporting brands that offer recycle/refill solutions…
So on this note, we’re delighted to share this year’s highest-scoring ECO heroes with you:
