until 5 p.m. local time, and staff at head office and distribution centres will also be given a chance to attend local rallies.
President and CEO of Lush Cosmetics North America, Mark Wolverton, said in a statement that “we need to respond to the climate crisis like the emergency it is.” Hundreds of thousands of young people across six continents left the classroom on Friday, Sept. 20, taking to the streets as part of the movement, started by Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.
No one cares.
Will their employees be paid while they attend the climate action rallies? Doubt it. This is strictly a marketing move. We care about the environment this one day a year - the rest of the annum is for profits. Yawn.
That's a good way to disguise poor sales
These strikes have become tiresome platitudes. -Is MEC going to shut down their online sales= 👉🏼 Internet & data CO2 footprint is atrocious & growing -Trudeau hypocrisy, cut cost of cellphones bills; equates to more usage= 👉🏼 Internet & data CO2 footprint is atrocious & growing
Lush smells so bad. They pollute the air of any mall they are in. Gross.🤮
Don’t really care. Elitists.
😴😴😴
Is this an advertisement? Is being paid to report this “news”? Or do you “report” when every business closes for a random day?
Enjoyed shopping there, so won’t be doing THAT any more. Can’t support a business with such stupidity. Starbucks, same thing. Best way to show your objection, I find, is to vote with your wallets. Let’s leave your products for the Greta Thunbergs of the world...🥾👋🥂😎
Good! Their balls stink!
LOL what a bunch of idiots. Punishing their own people with no hours to work.
Oh so virtuous!
Everyone here. So dumb. Yes they use fossil fuels. The point of the protest is to force a change in infrastructure too reliant on fossil fuels If you think one person or even one company has a CHOICE in using fossil fuels, you're a moron that doesn't think.
Good advertising I guess the only time I thought of lush before was for a heavy drinker
Unfortunately they are only closing for 1 day, Sept 27, to march with Greta Thurnberg. What a bunch of dip-shits.
Climate support..HA...no way. Their business was dying but climate support sounds so...liberal LiesLiesLies
Ok?
And just like that MEC are out and Atmosphere is in
Don't care. I and many others are boycotting them for thier hypocritical view and statements about Canada's Natural Resources.
CTV continues to report on non-stories that no one cares about.
My wife used to shop there quite often. We no longer support Lush.
Please - this is ridiculous. We have no problems in people taking a collective stand but make it about something actually occurring. How about poverty or Veteran’s Rights?
So how exactly does this do anything?
Fine, the service at Atmosphere is better anyway.
Who cares? Just leave them closed, nobody would notice.
MEC is run by loser hippies
Will anyone notice?
Who?
WTF is Lush,...might as well close for good., for all the good closing for one day will do.
Mec should be mabc made anywhere but Canada. The place sucks has for years now.
Nobody cares for virtue signalling.
Now I can add MEC to the stores I will never go to again.
Should just close them permanently. An entire store full of tiny plastic containers filled with shitty petrochemical crap. Expensive and bad quality. Losers LushLtd
👋
Two stores I'll no longer shop in.
Get woke, go broke. Can't wait!
Leave Alberta now.
Ohhh. The snowflakes better stock up. How are they going to look pretty sitting in their yurt in Muskoka.... Seriously?
If I was one of the part-time, minimum wage employees missing a day of work that I despitely needed, I would be pissed off.
Nonsense!
This virtue signalling nonsense is completely asinine.
Just close down for good Capitalism is evil & we should all be working for the government THAT is progress
You're telling us you're putting people out of work in support of climate action Lush!! I used to like you.
So will they truly shut down. Because I have a feeling that a large portion of their sales are online. Will they shut down their sites as well? Or are they not that much in support of ClimateChange?
I am sure their staff will enjoy the time off without pay. Maybe all the stores should unionize.
Really? I guess l still won't be going where l have never been.
How many of their products involve the fossil fuel industry.........oh that's right ALL OF THEM!!😂
When you’re close to bankruptcy, why not!
I guess magical elves deliver their products to the store on shimmering unicorns that don’t use fuel?
Ok.
NobodyCares
Nothing to do with the money they'll save not paying their employees for the day.
Stay closed and support it every day.
If the store is bad enough for the environment to require a one day shutdown. Consider a permanent shut down for the same insane cause.
Cheap products, gave my teens rashes
Cause that will solve the so called “climate change” that was once called “seasons”. Morons listening to Liberals! Stop believing everything off TV FFS!!!!
Because that does what exactly? Are they going to pick up garbage? Are they going to plant some trees? Or are they going to just smoke dope and tell everyone else it’s their fault
'and then everyone clapped'
I'm sorry...who is closing ?
MEC, you know you have an online website, right?
Don't care
Beyond Meat the 2nd. Rest well
See ya please don’t reopen again
How does this help?
That will show them.. Ugh ... smdh
Kudos!
How about MEC get rid of all stock that has any manufacturing or transportation involving with a source in O&G. Oh they’d have to permanently close their doors. Big fat hypocrites!
How your reporters act!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
