9 Reasons Your Movember Beard Is Good For The Planet

Don’t shave away your masculine mystique just because Movember is ending. Think about keeping your beard to help another great cause – the environment!

Forgo the razors and shaving cream.

3. Save Energy!

Beards grow all by themselves, no batteries required. They also keep your face warmer in the winter and wick moisture to cool you in the summer – this means less energy on heat and AC.

4. Save Time!

In the morning, just drag a comb across your face to remove the sticks, leaves, spiders and birds nests that accumulate in your beard.

5. Save food!

A beard is a natural food catcher, so you can save leftovers in there for snacking later. Or dip the whole beard in hot water to make soup.

6. Create compost!

If you don’t want to eat the leftovers, compost them! The food scraps in your whiskers and detritus that your beard collects will make rich soil.

7. Fight climate change!

And as you age, the white in your beard will reflect rather than absorb the sun’s rays, helping to keep the planet cooler.

8. Create a habitat!

A good beard is warm and fuzzy for your lover to curl up in. Kids love them. And all sorts of critters can use your whiskers for nesting materials or just nest in the beard itself.

9. Become a Natural Filter!

Your beard will filter your air and water before it enters your body, screening out large particles and absorbing toxins.
