Summary
For example, you could take that old, dead car battery to one of the places in Monterey County participating in the Great Battery Roundup-the Monterey Regional Water Management District in Marina, Natale's Auto Service in Monterey, Crazy Horse Canyon Landfill, Lugo's Towing or the Sun Street Transfer Station in Salinas-and know that $2 per battery will be divided between Friends of the Sea Otter, Whales on Wheels School Education Program and CSUMB's Return of the Natives. And then drive home, feeling smug-and smelly.
Lush is a cosmetics company based in Poole, Dorset, on the south coast of England, with 370 shops around the globe, including one that recently opened in Carmel.

And Lush doesn't test on animals, nor does the company use suppliers that sell to other companies that use materials tested on animals. Most of the products are "naked," with little or no packaging.The Seanik shampoo ($8.45), which looks like a round, aqua-blue bar of soap with pieces of Pacific coast seaweed (to make hair soft) throughout, smells much better than Moonbeam. It's got lemon oil, orange blossom absolute and mimosa and jasmine perfumes, and it's really, really hard not to lather it all over my entire body.
