What's better than giving the perfect present? Purchasing gifts that give back to the planet or the people who live on it.
Online shopping makes it easy to find zillions of products that you can buy with the click of a button, so how do you make a decision on what to buy?
Every purchase you make can support the causes, people, and products that you believe in, so take a moment to decide what matters to you. You have the purchasing power to make a change in the world.
A conscious consumer prefers to purchase from companies that give back to society. You can do research on the origin of the product, how the company treats it's workers, and what causes it supports.
Over the last couple years there has been an increase of social entrepreneurs who have created businesses that fight social injustice or raise awareness to help the problems they see in the world.
Larger companies such as Toms and Warby Parker focused their business around philanthropy while staying profitable (and super stylish). They've been trailblazers for many other small and big businesses to focus on all kinds of philanthropy such as helping the environment, donating clothing, funding healthcare, providing employment, and finding cures for diseases.
Ryan, the founder of The Home T, has had many friends and family affected by multiple sclerosis and was frustrated that there wasn't a cure. When he moved from North Carolina to New York, he felt a little homesick, so he was inspired to create a state-themed lifestyle brand. All of the shirts are made in the USA with insanely soft fabric. We donate 10% of profits to multiple sclerosis research to help find a cure.
