Aveda Celebrates Earth Month
by Erin Courtenay - Madison, WI on 04. 6.06
During Aveda's Earth Month you can get a professional salon service while helping to save threatened and endangered plant species. The Aveda Network celebrates the month of April with an international fundraising effort designed to raise money for a group of nonprofit Conservation Partners. Many spas and salons are offering "Appointments for the Earth," where stylists and other professionals provide services free of charge to clients who donate to the campaign (to be fair, if you participate consider a donation that is roughly equivalent to the salon's going rate). Additionally, the Network is selling a special edition "Light The Way" rose geranium scented candle - for which all proceeds will be donated to conservation programs. The candle comes in a 95% PCR glass holder and is made of 100% organic ingredients. Along with the fundraising effort, Aveda is collecting signatures on a petition to Congress and one to the United Nations to take action for endangered plants (both can be signed online). Visit the Aveda website to find a participating spa or salon in your area.
This is great to hear! I didn't know that. I am getting my hair cut at an Aveda salon tomorrow. I am a writer for Beauty Secrets 101 and just wrote a post about hair salons. I'm glad to hear that I chose a good salon to go to!

Im a student at the Aveda Institute Las Vegas, and Im so excited to be a part of this. Im on student council and we are coming up with some great ideas for the whole month of April.
Incredible Kick-off event last night in New York to celebrate Aveda's Earth Month! Many eco-minded people together for a good cause, tasty foods, "green" drinks, and an amazing space. Clean Ocean Action's Executive Director, Cindy Zipf spoke about ways we can all make a difference. Included in the evenings festivities was a group text message to the United Nations for clean water.
