Choose vegan and cruelty-free makeup formulas, from lip glosses to powders, which are kind to people, animals and the planet like natural extracts from flowers, herbs, vegetables, fruits and essentialoils.
Brush up your act
When looking for makeup and beauty tools, try to source brushes tha thave been crafted from sustainable and eco-friendly materials, such as bamboo fibres, tree-free paper and cotton.
Demand double-duty
Use multi-purpose products that reduce waste like cheek tint, that can be used as blush and lipstick, as well as lipstick that can be used as eyeshadow, or concealer that can be used as foundation.

6-year-old boy dies in apparent Michigan drowning after wandering from family reunion
A 6-year-old Michigan boy with autism drowned in a lake after wandering away from a family reunion on Saturday, July 26, at Belle Isle Park, near downtown Detroit, police say. A boy was playing in a bounce castle at the park along with several other children when he wandered off, according to the preliminary investigation by the Michigan State Police. When his family members noticed he was missing, they began searching for him and called 911 for help. A child and an adult discovered the boy in the river approximately 30 minutes after he had gone missing, based on reporting by the Detroit Free Press, part of the USA TODAY Network. Emergency responders performed CPR and used an automated defibrillator in an effort to revive the child before transporting him to Children's Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. "A drowning can happen quickly and quietly and is often not how it is portrayed on TV," Michigan State Police First Lt. Mike Shaw said in a written statement on Sunday, July 27. He warned that there have been multiple drownings in the state this year. "Keep a close eye on your kids and people who (can't) swim, wear life jackets when boating, and if you are a poor swimmer, and be careful with alcohol consumption." Wandering is common for children with autism Wandering is a common practice for children with autism, according to the nonprofit National Autism Association, which encourages that water be searched first when a child goes missing. Last year was the deadliest year recorded for children with autism who wandered, and nearly all in that record died from drowning, according to tracking from the association. While drowning accounted for 91% of wandering deaths, 7% involved children with autism who were struck by vehicles, and 1% who died from hypothermia, the association reported. Resources on the topic are available on the association website. The Autism Alliance of Michigan also offers a free program that connects families with resources to create safety plans. Drowning is the leading cause of death among 1-to 4-year-olds and that risk is 160 times higher for children with autism, a 2017 study from Columbia University's Mailman School of Public Health found. How to protect kids from drowning But there are ways to help keep kids safe around water and to prevent accidental drownings. "It doesn't have to be this way; it is entirely preventable," Adam Katchmarchi, CEO of the nonprofit National Drowning Prevention Alliance, previously told USA TODAY. "It's within every family's power to gain this information to keep their kids safer." The National Autism Association encourages parents to consider the following guidelines to prevent drownings. Enroll children in swimming lessons as early as possible Install protective barriers and gear, including fencing, self-latching closing gates and pool covers Require children to wear a life jacket on boats Supervise your child closely without any distractions Educate children about water safety, from safe areas to swim to avoiding riptides Contributing: Phaedra Trethan, USA TODAY This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Boy dies in apparent drowning after wandering from family reunion

Too Much Moose Meat Blamed For Fatal 2023 Plane Crash That Killed Alaska Rep. Mary Peltola's Husband
While it definitely feels like it's been happening more frequently lately, commercial airline crashes are incredibly rare, especially considering how many miles they fly every year. Small, private planes, however, are a completely different story. So when former Alaska Representative Mary Peltola's husband, Eugene, crashed a Piper Super Cub in southwest Alaska back in 2023, it was tragic but also far from unheard of. Recently, the National Transportation Safety Board concluded its investigation into the crash and believes it knows why the plane crashed — it was overloaded with moose meat. According to the NTSB's final report, while on a hunting trip, Peltola attempted to fly out of a remote airstrip carrying moose meat and antlers. Unfortunately for Peltola, he loaded too much weight onto the plane, putting it 117 pounds or 6% over its maximum takeoff limit. He also had a set of antlers strapped to the right wing strut, which investigators said likely contributed to the crash. Had the plane not been overloaded, the antlers may have been less of an issue, but the combination of added weight and drag ultimately proved fatal. Wind was also reportedly a factor, with Clint Johnson, the NTSB's Alaska Region Chief, telling Alaska's KTUU, "Number one was, obviously, the overweight condition — no ifs, ands, or buts there. The parasitic drag from the antlers that were attached to the right wing, and then also the last thing would be the wind, the mechanical wind turbulence at the end of the takeoff area, which unfortunately, led to this accident. If you would have been able to take one of those items out, we probably wouldn't be having this conversation. But those things all in combination led to this tragic accident." Read more: These Are The Best Engines Of All Time, According To You Allegations Of Negligence Strapping antlers to the exterior of a small plane is reportedly fairly common in Alaska, but, at least on paper, you're still required to get approval from the Federal Aviation Administration before doing so. According to the report, though, there is no evidence that Peltola's plan had been approved to do so. And while a plane's maximum takeoff weight can be the same as its maximum landing weight, that's not always the case. According to the NTSB's report, the plane likely would have still been 180 pounds over the Super Cub's landing weight, even when accounting for the fuel consumed in the air. In addition to Peltola overloading the plane, the report also states that it had undergone extensive repairs throughout its seven decades of service, and much of that work was done before the FAA updated its guidelines on repairs and restorations. The report didn't draw a conclusion one way or the other as to whether or not those repairs contributed to Peltola's crash, however, KTUU reports a lawsuit has been filed, claiming Bruce Werba and the two companies he controlled, Alaska Pike Safari's & Wilderness Adventures and Neitz Aviation, Inc., behaved negligently and caused Peltola "to fly excessive hours, to fly without adequate sleep or rest, to fly under unreasonably dangerous conditions, and to carry an external load without the required permit." The lawsuit also alleges that neither of the companies named in the suit had gotten a certificate of self-insurance from the Alaska Division of Workers' Compensation and thus deprived Peltola of the appropriate compensation. The lawsuit reportedly seeks at least $100,000 in damages, as well as a jury trial. Want more like this? Join the Jalopnik newsletter to get the latest auto news sent straight to your inbox...
