Protect our Oceans Majestic, awe-inspiring, and stretching as far as the eye can see, the ocean feels like a force of nature untouchable by anything. It’s our life source, producing over half the planet’s oxygen, sheltering an incredible diversity of creatures, playing a crucial role in moderating our climate, and feeding over a billion people with its bounty. Furthermore, it’s the backbone of countless economies, employing millions worldwide.

But beneath the glistening surface and crashing waves lies a world teeming with life, as fragile and interconnected as any ecosystem on Earth. Despite its vastness, the ocean is a delicate ecosystem that needs our protection.

Here at Human Nature, we see the ocean as a breathtaking gift from God. As stewards entrusted with this wonder, we feel a deep responsibility to care for it. So for World Oceans Day, we’re diving deep into our sustainability efforts and showing how YOU too can make a splash with everyday habits!

Protect Our Oceans with Plastic Bottle-Free Essentials

Glow up guilt-free by switching to plastic bottle-free essentials. Bid plastic bottles goodbye! Switch up your daily routines with shampoo bars, face bars, cleansing bars, and even powder detergents and dishwashing powder. They’re effective, leave no plastic waste, and are safe for washing down the drain. A win-win for you and the environment!

Protect Our Oceans by Reusing & Reducing

Larger sizes often use less plastic per milliliter. To minimize plastic waste, choose bigger options whenever possible and opt for refills. You can stock up on your Human Nature staples at our refilling stations in Commonwealth, SM The Block, SM Megamall, Festival Mall, TriNoma, Ayala Malls Feliz, and Market! Market!

Participate in Our Balik Bote Program

Walking the walk is just as important as talking the talk. Here at Human Nature, we’re committed to tackling plastic waste at its source. That’s why we launched an internal campaign specifically aimed at plastic bottle recovery.

Through engaging initiatives like employee challenges and convenient collection points, we encourage our team to become heroes for the planet.

How Human Nature Protects Our Oceans

3. Innovative Solutions: We’re constantly exploring new ways to reduce waste and promote sustainability. From refillable stations to plastic recovery programs, innovation is at the heart of our mission.

Everyday Habits to Protect Our Oceans

Reduce Single-Use Plastics: Say no to single-use plastics like straws, bags, and bottles. Opt for reusable alternatives.
Participate in Clean-Up Drives: Join local beach or river clean-up activities. Every piece of trash you pick up prevents it from entering the ocean.
Support Sustainable Brands: Choose products from companies that prioritize sustainability and environmental responsibility.
Educate Others: Spread the word about the importance of ocean conservation. The more people are aware, the bigger the impact we can make.

Protect Our Oceans with Conscious Consumption

Making small changes in your consumption habits can have a big impact on ocean health. Here are some tips:

• Choose Reef-Safe Sunscreen: Many sunscreens contain chemicals that harm marine life. Opt for reef-safe alternatives.
• Support Sustainable Seafood: Ensure the seafood you consume is sustainably sourced to prevent overfishing and protect marine ecosystems.
• Minimize Chemical Use: Reduce the use of harmful chemicals in household cleaning and gardening to prevent them from washing into waterways.
