Now in its seventh year, it highlights the problems caused by a number of chemicals in everyday household products when they are washed down the drain and enter our rivers, lakes, lochs and the seas.
| Litter isn't the only pollutant |
Conventional toiletries such as shampoo, bubble bath, shower gel, soap and even toothpaste, which are all washed down the drain of your bathroom sink, bath or shower, can contain harmful chemicals that hang around in the water environment for a long time. These chemicals can also build up in the bodies of wildlife and cause reproductive problems.
There is a widespread lack of awareness about what actually happens to water when it goes down the drain. Even amongst those who are most concerned about environmental issues, one third of people don't know what happens to water after it reaches the drain.
One way you can do your bit and think about what products you choose to use around your home and in the bathroom – as they all end up down the drain.
Some of these household cleaners and toiletries contain chemicals that should not be unleashed into the water environment.
As much as possible we should switch to greener, more eco-friendly products and toiletries as they perform just as well as their chemical counterparts and don’t harm aquatic life.
Take a look in my shop at the hair care range which is totally unique to Wikaniko, not sold through any other outlet and formulated especially and solely for us.
The luxury range is possibly the highest quality natural eco friendly product available on the market today. The shampoo and conditioner is created mainly from natural ingredients and free from all the usual nasties (SLS, SLES, Triclosan, paraben, sulphates, phosphates, ethylene, oxide etc). It's suitable for vegans and, like all Wikaniko products, not tested on animals.
We use only top quality essential oils in this products – no artificial fragrances or colouring are used whatsoever.
This product is totally unique to Wikaniko, not sold through any other outlet, formulated especially and solely for us.
When we switch to eco friendly toiletries and cleaning products, we make a real difference in reducing the number of harmful chemicals that enter our watercourses and affect the quality of the water in rivers, lochs, lakes and streams.
Be an ethical shopper, be a Wikaniko shopper.
