COMMON PROBLEM
Parents often struggle with the dilemma of providing fun, glowing toys for their children while being mindful of environmental impact. Traditional glow sticks, while exciting for kids, contribute to plastic waste and chemical pollution, conflicting with the values many families want to instill in their children.
RESOLUTION
The Lume offers a solution that allows families to enjoy glow stick fun without environmental guilt. By switching to this reusable and compostable alternative, parents can provide the same enjoyment for their children while aligning with eco-friendly practices. It's an opportunity to combine fun with valuable lessons about sustainability.
The Lux Bio team recently visited a school and ran a fun experiment for 50 grade 4 students. The first example they shouted when asked ‘name something that glows in the dark’ was a glow stick, and unprompted, 5 students raised their hands and shared a story of how they were playing with glow sticks and they broke, ending up with the liquid on their face and skin. These chemicals are extremely dangerous—if you haven’t read our white paper, check it out!
RESERVE PRESALE
"We use glow sticks and glow necklaces for children's nighttime events. The experience is delightful, but we're concerned about the environmental impact. Many families don't consider this, so we'd like to present alternative options."
"I want a light wand not only because it's a great way to help save the planet but also because they are extremely cool."
"Glow sticks have been a staple in the music scene forever and having an innovative and constructive alternative is huge!"
"Perfect example of what need to be doing in today's society—not necessarily getting rid of things that we love but adapting them so they are good for the planet as well as for us."
