Flow Into Summer: 7 Sustainable Swaps for the Season

Summer's here, and it's time to soak up the sun, sip on something cool, and make eco-friendly choices that keep our planet as refreshed as we feel. At Flow, we're all about making sustainability a breeze.

So, let's dive into some fun and fresh swaps to keep your summer stylish and sustainable!

1. Sunscreen That Loves the Ocean

Before you hit the beach, swap out your regular sunscreen for a reef-safe alternative. Many conventional sunscreens contain chemicals like oxybenzone that can harm marine life. Opt for mineral-based sunscreens with non-nano zinc oxide to protect both your skin and the sea.

2. Cool Down with Conscious Clothing

Stay cool and eco-chic by choosing clothing made from sustainable materials like organic cotton, bamboo, or recycled fabrics. These materials are breathable for those hot summer days and kinder to the environment.

3. Sip Sustainably at Summer Soirées

Hosting a backyard BBQ or picnic? Ditch the disposable plates and cutlery. Instead, use reusable or compostable options. Not only does it reduce waste, but it also adds a touch of class to your gathering. 

4. Eco-Friendly Travel Essentials

Planning a getaway? Pack light and right with eco-friendly travel items. Think reusable water bottles, bamboo toothbrushes, and solid toiletries that cut down on plastic waste. 

5. Garden with a Green Thumb

Summer is prime time for gardening. Use compost to enrich your soil, collect rainwater for irrigation, and choose native plants that require less water and care. It's a win-win for your garden and the planet. 

6. Stay Hydrated the Flow Way

Keep cool and hydrated with Flow's naturally alkaline spring water. Our eco-friendly packaging is made from renewable materials, making it a sustainable choice for your summer adventures.

7. Light Up with LED

Extend those summer evenings with LED lighting. They're energy-efficient, last longer, and are perfect for creating that cozy backyard ambiance. 

 

Embracing these simple swaps can make your summer more sustainable without sacrificing fun. So, let's make this season one to remember—for us and the planet. If you've tried any of these this summer, let us know @Flow!
