PLEDGE WITH ELLE

THERE’S NO CHANGE TOO SMALL TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. THIS MONTH ON INSTAGRAM AND FACEBOOK, WE’RE ASKING YOU TO LET US KNOW AN EVERYDAY CHANGE YOU’RE MAKING WITH THE HASHTAG

#ELLETIMETOACT. HERE ARE SOME OF OURS:

“I’m using only natural or homemade cleaning products in my home.”

RACHEL WAYMAN, FASHION DIRECTOR

“I’ll be composting my kitchen scraps at my local community garden, which will help enrich soil, reduce the need for watering and chemical fertilisers, and keep food waste out of landfill (and therefore nasty methane emissions).”

GENEVRA LEEK, DEPUTY EDITOR

“I’m banning single-use plastics, and taking a Tupperware container to my fave lunch spot instead of using disposable plastic.”

LAUREN SAMS, FEATURES DIRECTOR

“I’m going on a fast fashion detox for a year, only shopping from sustainable and ethical fashion labels.”

NATALIE REEVES, COPY DIRECTOR

“I’m ditching plastic cling wrap for beeswax food covers – switching up the see-through with some colour and design for the inside of my boring fridge.”

CARLY ROBERTS, CREATIVE DIRECTOR

“I’ve become a bandit when it comes to ingredients lists. Nothing that has palm oil goes anywhere near my trolley.”

JUSTINE CULLEN, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
