Earth Day 2025: Small Shifts. Big Impact.

April 22 is Earth Day, an annual reminder that this beautiful planet we call home needs us to care, protect, and restore it.

This year’s Earth Day theme is “Planet vs. Plastics,” a global call to action to reduce plastic pollution and shift towards a healthier, more sustainable world.

At ORESTA, we believe in celebrating Mother Earth every day. From the brands we carry to the packaging we choose, sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. But Earth Day is a powerful moment to pause, reflect, and recommit to our values, individually and together as a community.

This Earth Day, We Invite You To Make a Resolution 🌱

A small change in your everyday habits can make a big difference.

Here are a few ideas to get inspired:

🌍 Rethink Beauty Waste
Refill, reuse, and recycle. Say no to unnecessary packaging and choose products that offer refills or sustainable options. (PS: We offer Terracycle in-store to recycle your clean empties!)

💧 Be Water Wise
Turn off the tap while brushing your teeth, install a low-flow shower head, and keep your skincare routine intentional and water-conscious.

🚲 Swap the Drive for a Stroll
Walk, cycle, or take public transit whenever possible. Less emissions, more fresh air, and a little movement does us all good.

🍽 Eat With the Earth in Mind
Try incorporating more plant-based meals into your week. Reducing meat even once a week helps lower your environmental footprint.

📦 Support Local
Shopping local isn’t just about convenience, it keeps dollars in your community and supports makers committed to ethical and sustainable practices.

🛍 Buy Less, Choose Well
Whether it’s beauty, fashion, or food, quality over quantity is always a more sustainable approach. Mindful consumption is one of the most impactful changes we can make.


How ORESTA Is Committed to the Earth

  • We curate brands that prioritize eco-friendly packaging, ethical sourcing, and sustainable farming.

  • Many of our Canadian brands, like HUNA, Laurel and Blissoma grow their ingredients on regenerative farms.

  • We educate our community on buying mindfully: fewer products, more impact.

  • We partner with Terracycle to ensure our clean beauty empties avoid landfill.


Let’s restore, renew, and protect this planet together.

With love for our planet,
Oresta & Team 🌿
