Light a Candle to Celebrate Earth Day!
Earth Day is coming up on Sunday, April 22! There are many ways to celebrate Earth Day. Some people plant a tree. Others join public forums to discuss how to protect our planet. One way to protect the Earth is to reduce CO2 emissions. Kristin and Company uses soy wax – as opposed to paraffin – to make our candles. This means that our candles burn clean. We even carry a special selection of earthy scents. Celebrate this Earth Day with Earthy scents for Earth Day from Kristin and Company!

Soy Candles Are an Eco-Friendly Alternative to Regular Candles
Soy candles burn clean. After burning paraffin candles, black soot collects on the candle jar’s glass interior as well as on top of the candle. The soot coats the walls, drapes, and furniture in your home. The result? Candle burning means more frequent cleaning is needed. Additionally, cleaning doesn’t always result in a room being as clean as it was before. Clean burning candles offer you a chance to enjoy candles without the sooty side effects.
In other words, soy candles are perfect for Earth Day (and any other day!).
Candles that Honor Earth Day
Soy candles are the first innovation in candles in a century. As people are more concerned with the environment and their health, consumers are demanding eco-friendly solutions.
However, to get there, people have to demand changing the status quo.
Earth Day Set the Tone
The first Earth Day was in 1970, even before the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Clean Air Act, Clean Water Act, or Endangered Species Act.
Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin started Earth Day to bring environmental issues to the forefront of national discussion, with bipartisan support in congress. On the first Earth Day, 20 million Americans participated in demonstrations across the country. In response, congress created the EPA.
Earth Day Goes Global!
In 1990, Earth Day went global, reaching 141 countries. Prompted by the momentum, two years later saw the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit. In 2015, 196 parties across the globe signed The Paris Climate Accord, an agreement among countries to do their part to hold the global temperature at 2 degrees Celsius below pre-industrial levels.
Today, Earth Day is the largest secular observance celebrated around the world.
We look forward to many Earth Days to come!
