BRANDS THAT GIVE BACK + HOLIDAY HOURS

As I mentioned last week, we love supporting other small businesses; especially those whose practices are sustainable and give back to the planet and humanity. This week I wanted to draw your attention to some brands we carry that give back with every sale of their products.

NATURE SUPPLY CO. 

As you may know, we do our very best to encourage people to reduce their environmental footprint and reuse items when they can. This is a main reason we carry Nature Supply Co.'s (NSC - South Dakota) reusable tote bags. We have over a dozen designs, and also carry some of their cotton T-shirts. NSC works in collaboration with The Bee and Butterfly Habitat Fund, and every purchase of one of their products plants wildflowers for pollinators. The company has helped plant over 40 million wildflower seeds since 2016. 

You can read more about The Bee + Butterfly Habitat Fund here.

BRADFORD TOTE BAGS

With every purchase of one of our store's reusable tote bags, we donate to the nonprofit One Tree Planted (OTP - Shelburne, VT) to restore our native forests in the Appalachian region. Since 2014, OTP has planted over 92.7 million trees in more than 80 countries across the globe. So far we have been able to sponsor OTP planting 58 trees by the purchase of our logo totes, which are screen printed at Honorary Graphics (Concord, NC).

ATTITUDE

We carry Attitude Living's (Montreal, Quebec) all natural, 100% plastic- and pollutant-free conditioner bars and dishwasher tabs. With every purchase, Attitude plants a tree in partnership with Eden Reforestation and One Tree Planted. To date, they have helped to plant 1.7 million trees.

You can read more about Attitude and their mission here.

1 in 6 Snacks

If you have not tried 1 in 6 Snacks kettle chips and/or popcorn you are missing out. This great local company (Raleigh, NC) started when they learned that 1 in 6 Americans did not know where their next meal would come from. With each product sold, a portion of the proceeds is donated to a local food bank. 1 in 6 has donated nearly 1.3 million meals to date.
