A beauty salon has environmental challenges that no household could imagine. Toxic chemicals are part of the process, and high volume lighting and constant hot water mean huge utilities expenses.

There's little attention to the landfill, since recycling and reuse are ignored. Annabelle and Holter offer stylish solutions and even show the owners how to recycle all that hair!

Learn more about the beauty salon's eco crimes and go green plan.
