Eco-beauty product junkies know that Pangea Organics is where it’s at. We’ve gushed about the Boulder, Colorado-based organic body care company for years now and even interviewed its founder, change maker Josh Onysko!
From the products’ all star line-up of all-natural botanical ingredients that smell as delicious as much as they feel delicious, to the company’s fair trade practices, and plantable (and did we mention pretty!) packaging—it’s one of skin care’s most sustainable matches.
But just when we thought the soaps, scrubs and tubes couldn’t get much greener; Pangea announced another feel good way to give back to Mother Nature, leveraging the use of social media. For every person who fans Pangea’s Facebook page by 2010, Big Tree Climate Fund will plant that many trees in Brazil’s Mata Atlantica Rainforest, a hotbed of biodiversity.
Conserving the forest’s native species, both flora and fauna, is an important tool when trying to save it—and saving the Mata Atlantica is imperative when you consider only about 7 percent of its original rainforest remains thanks to deforestation.
A simple click of your button over on Facebook is a zero-cost, time-friendly way to make a big difference—but if some further incentive is needed to well, light the fire under your behind, how’s this?
Pangea will choose two of its fans to fly down to the rainforest—so they can check out biodiversity in action. Very cool.
