• A Greener Future partners with Lush this Plastic Free July to talk to the public about the problem with plastics and what you can do to help!

ONTARIO — A Greener Future (AGF), a non-profit dedicated to environmental protection through community cleanups, and Lush, the inventors of many packaging-free cosmetics products, are joining forces this Plastic Free July to empower local communities to take action against plastic pollution.

A Perfect Partnership for a Greener Future

Lush Cosmetics, renowned for its commitment to environmental sustainability, aligns perfectly with A Greener Future's mission. Both organizations share a passion for reducing plastic waste and promoting a cleaner planet.

“LUSH Cosmetics has been a huge part of A Greener Future’s impact over the years.” Says Rochelle, Founder of A Greener Future, “Through their financial contributions, we have been able to scale our programs and by partnering on in-store events we can connect with more people who care about the environment. We are so grateful that LUSH sees the value in the work we do and are happy to support us.” 

LUSH Supports Local Action:

A Greener Future will host information tables at Lush stores across Southern Ontario throughout July as part of the partnership. These events will provide an opportunity for customers to learn more about AGF's work, connect with volunteers, and explore ways to reduce their plastic footprint.

Through shared values, Lush has supported A Greener Futures community-led park and beach clean-ups over four years. We commend their dedication to engaging local community members to remove litter, preventing it from ending up in our waterways and reducing the risk to animals - Lush, North America
