Last Friday, we welcomed Waltham Elementary School #185 5th graders to Carus for a day of hands-on science, discovery, and fun! 🧪🌎

Students worked alongside our Carus chemists to learn how our products help make water cleaner, air purer, and soil safer. From experiments to exploration, it was an inspiring day full of curiosity and learning. Thanks for visiting us, Waltham Elementary!

From cleanups to cookouts, Earth Month was all about showing up, pitching in, and celebrating the impact we can make together 🌎

Across La Salle, Belmont, and alongside partners like Perfectly Flawed Foundation, we rolled up our sleeves to care for our communities—while also taking time to connect, share a meal, and celebrate the journey. From Earth Day treats to food trucks to end-of-month gatherings, every moment reminded us that sustainability is just as much about people as it is about the planet.

Because when we come together, work together, and keep the momentum going, Earth Day becomes more than a single day—it becomes what we do every day.

🌎 As Earth Month comes to a close, it’s a reminder that meaningful change doesn’t come from one big moment — it comes from the small choices we make every day.

Whether it’s reducing waste, conserving water, or being more mindful of our impact, those actions add up over time.

Earth Month may be ending, but the opportunity to make a difference continues every day.

Last week, our team had the opportunity to spend time out in the community alongside Perfectly Flawed Foundation—working together to help clean and care for the spaces we all share. 🌱

It was a great reminder that meaningful change happens when people come together with a shared purpose. We’re grateful to everyone who showed up, put in the work, and made a positive impact.

Proud of this team and the difference we can make—together. 💚

🌎 It’s not just how many plastic bottles are used each year — it’s what happens after.
Only about 23% of plastic water bottles are recycled, meaning the majority end up in landfills or the environment.

If you’re looking for an easy place to cut back:
✔ Keep a reusable bottle in your car or bag
✔ Refill before leaving the house
✔ Keep one at your desk so it becomes routine

Small changes like this can reduce more waste than we often realize.
Try replacing just one disposable bottle a day this week — it’s a simple habit that adds up.
