Without really getting into how interconnected everything is, I feel that the first step is simply being "a citizen of the world" and not waiting for someone else to pick up your rubbish after you, I don't care if you paid 10€ or 10000€, being considerate should be a given.Tirurithttp://www.transientbeaute.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-81816869138976046672015-06-10T07:45:00.548+02:002015-06-10T07:45:00.548+02:00Thanks so much for the post and gentle reminder to...Thanks so much for the post and gentle reminder to be more kind to our planet, including the seas. Where I live, the cities have banned disposable plastic bags, so you have to bring your own recyclable bag or pay for a recyclable one, and I feel so much better about doing my part. I do miss the convenience, but I don't miss the waste and issues they caused, especially to marine life. It's very good that La Mer is funding some ocean research, but I tried their cream, and wasn't sure what the hype was about. It's a nice cream, that's moisturizing and soothing, but not worth the astronomical price. And yes, it is thick so you have to rub on your fingers to warm it up and thin it out a little. There are many creams that work just as well or better for a lot less. But if someone really loves it, then great, I'm happy for them.Katherine T.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-51785323019819467692015-06-09T17:49:15.172+02:002015-06-09T17:49:15.172+02:00What an important cause to bring awareness to!

I certainly don't do anything as blatant as throwing garbage in the ocean, and I try to be mindful about my carbon footprint in terms of composting, recycling, turning off lights, etc., but I could certainly do better about changing my purchasing habits to produce less waste (plastic and packaging). <br />I received a sample of La Crème de la Mer last year and found it to be very rich, which makes it a good night cream for our Canadian winters. I'm actually a big fan of the La Mer Moisturizing Gel Cream, which I find is a nice, light yet moisturizing gel that works well as a day cream. <br />It's nice to see you back in the swing of blogging...I hope it means that you are feeling better!:-)Jessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-80786470260124181362015-06-09T15:37:13.248+02:002015-06-09T15:37:13.248+02:00Hey Sara, what a lovely post.

It's repulsive how some don't care about it, even when they are warned. We have some beautiful diving spots in Malaysia, and we'd like to preserve them, thank you very much. Anyway, back to the creme. I tried it once - bought it before my wedding to pamper myself. Perhaps I was still young, so I didn't see or feel much difference. Maybe I should try it again to see how it works :-)Lilynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-32845113244720486712015-06-09T13:27:00.573+02:002015-06-09T13:27:00.573+02:00Awesome post, Sara, it's really cool of you to...Awesome post, Sara, it's really cool of you to bring this subject to our attention.

I must admit I do not do everything I can for the environment and it is mostly out of laziness :( In fact having small children I know one of the worse contaminants are disposable nappies but I am not quite ready to adopt an alternative because washable nappies are so much work! <br />It is such a shame!<br />I really appreciate the efforts different brandsdo for the environment and that's always a plus in my book!Natihttp://polished-polyglot.blogspot.ch/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-92101936697598934862015-06-09T08:26:47.853+02:002015-06-09T08:26:47.853+02:00Thank you for your beautifu article on the threats...Thank you for your beautifu article on the threats facing the ocean. I grew up on the Cape Peninsula in South Africa, surrounded by ocean on three sides, and the ocean feeds my soul. It also pains me, the way humans thoughtlessly and ruthlessly plunder and pollute our finite resources. I regularly think of ways in which I can minimise my own contribution to this ravage.<br />I love La Mer, but not the original Creme de la Mer. I use the Moisturising Lotion in summer and the Moisturising Soft Cream in the winter. I have oily, very sensitive and allergic skin and other than Sisley/Sisleya and Perricone MD this is the only brand I can use. I have good skin for a 47-year-old and whether that's purely because my mom has good skin at 76 or due to the products I use, I shall never know. But if a cream feels comfortable to me, doesn't break me out, nourishes without greasing me up and plumps and resurfaces things nicely I'm happy.Bellanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-70673583530573380222015-06-09T06:11:48.495+02:002015-06-09T06:11:48.495+02:00I'm living practically next to the ocean now s...I'm living practically next to the ocean now so I can definitely relate to your post. The locals here all seem to help with keeping the water clean, though, and I'm very happy to see that. <br /><br />When I first tried the La Mer The Moisturizing Cream, I wasn't in love with the scent but I kept using until it didn't bother me anymore. I actually love it now! It really does keep my skin moisturized. I only use it as an overnight treatment, though, because it can get quite thick during the day just like you said. :)Jaahttp://www.hellojaa.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-75837322800021082652015-06-09T05:09:39.482+02:002015-06-09T05:09:39.482+02:00Thank you so much for the very thoughtful and insi...Thank you so much for the very thoughtful and insightful discussion about the ocean. I love the ocean too, i've spent most of my teenage years either canoeing or sailing... the funny thing is i never learnt to swim properly and i'm afraid of live fishes! LOL!! <br /><br />I've been a La Mer devotee for decades now! Hahahaa.... it was the only cream that worked for me when I had severe (and i mean really severe) eczema and when i was skiing every other weekend. Yes the creme de la mer needs to be warmed up first then patted on the face. It became a routine, and one that was very soothing. Afterwards I discovered the gel creme, and i was hooked. It works fabulously even in hot humid climates, so you may want to try that!silverkishttp://silverkis.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-33912002291524546032015-06-08T22:07:19.473+02:002015-06-08T22:07:19.473+02:00Love your post on the ocean.

When you travel that way you are reminded most of the earth is ocean and not the land we concentrate on. I am on the fence about some of the science re global warming but we are undoubtedly polluting our seas and stifling the ecosystem there.<br />Re La Mer I am loving the eye gel so far but, as you know, I am not a La creme fan. Most very expensive creams I have tried I 'got' why people were prepared to shell out but this one is a mystery to me.missfrankiecatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6003642103556651266.post-40645362939284497822015-06-08T20:33:31.370+02:002015-06-08T20:33:31.370+02:00Hi Andrea,

Sure, it makes your skin comfortable, but in terms of real skin care, I think this is a case of the Emperor's New Clothes. Investing in good serums is far more efficient, and has had a huge impact in my skin.<br />The ocean is getting destroyed due to several reasons, the main being the indiscriminate massacre of sharks. Indeed, those creatures keep smaller predators population at bay, so, without them, they grow exponentially, destroying the delicate sea flora, therefore, reducing the amount of oxygen in the water, with has a huge impact globally. <br />Global warming is a huge business, as many new studies have proven that the tools used to measure global warming, were wrong, and the models, tampered with. If anybody is interested, in my page have a ton of articles on the matter.Andrea Knoreply@blogger.com
