Environmentally friendly, earth-friendly, sustainable, whatever the term you prefer, the products you use shouldn’t harm the earth or the inhabitants when being used, made, or packaged. More and more brands are cleaning up their products and/or working with companies like TerraCycle. Today in honor of Earth Day we chat with Tampa Bay Morning Blend about brands that deliver fabulous results and are making strides to be kinder to our planet. Products we discussed are listed in order of appearance below. In case you missed the segment head down to the bottom to watch.
