Support Sustainable Brands

This time of year can be quite challenging when it comes to purchasing meaningful gifts that also do not have a negative impact on our environment. Even though my family has cut back substantially on buying gifts at Christmas, I am more and more aware of the need to not only cut back, but to be more conscious of the overall impact my purchases may have on our environment.

 It is shocking to see the crowds of people buying, buying and buying more stuff, and that doesn't even take into account all of us that shop on-line as well. How much "stuff" do we need to accumulate and why?

My goal is to start making better and more conscious decisions when it come to purchasing products. In an effort to do so I have started to source out some sustainable businesses and brands to support. The following are a few suggestions:
