Less waste with Luntian Lokal
Today, Luntian Lokal sells a variety of sustainable goods -- some of which you would never have thought existed. If you think that perfume can only be sprayed, think again! They sell solid perfumes that come in pocket-sized tins. If you don’t want stainless steel straws because they just don’t offer the same straw “experience”, Luntian Lokal sells reusable silicone straws-- a bestseller among moms who have kids that love to bite on straws.
The online store carries all kinds of products that help change your wasteful lifestyle into an informed and sustainable one. It’s time to swap your plastic bags for woven totes whenever you have to go to the market. Luntian Lokal’s totes are even stylish enough that they could double as beach bags for your next trip to Camiguin.
Status of sustainability
Ivy shares that, by bringing these products to the city, people have become more interested in sustainable living. “It’s nice to see people stop and be shocked when they see certain products like the reusable sanitary pads,” she shares of her experience during one of Centrio’s exhibits in which Luntian Lokal had joined. From her experience, people’s curiosity about these products is what helps them make better choices, and ultimately, create a more environmentallyconscious lifestyle.
But, how are people from Cagayan de Oro responding to sustainable products? Ivy shares that the younger generation seems to be more interested in discovering and testing these products, compared to older folks who have become accustomed to living life with plastic. Still, she continues in her personal mission of introducing sustainability to where it needs to be talked about.
Ultimately, Luntian Lokal is more than just a store that sells eco-friendly goods. It’s an expression of one’s concern for the ever-worsening condition of the environment. The Luntian Lokal founder hopes that more people realize the impact of their habits and switch to more sustainable alternatives.
Luntian Lokal accepts orders through their Facebook page “Living Luntian” and Instagram account @luntianlokal.
