Earth Synergy
Like most individuals or companies, we must choose our battles. Yes, hoops are made with petroleum-based plastics and although it is possible, many do not last forever. To offset ethical & environmental dilemmas like these, we make decisions based on the triple bottom line, "people, planet, profit". Our intention is to be as socially & environmentally responsible as possible and here are some of the ways we put those beliefs into practice within Synergy.
