We can all make conscious choices for products that prioritize sustainability, from stylish watches to farm-fresh produce. These items prove it’s possible to take care of our planet without sacrificing style or taste!
The holidays often bring forth the temptation to indulge in consumer capitalism, yet there are ways we can still enjoy them while being mindful of our environmental impact. Instead of diving head first into impulse purchases, consider a more intentional approach – buying nothing or only what hurts (in other words: your wellbeing). With some conscious effort and preparedness, holiday celebrations don’t have to cost us both financially and ecologically!
This season, show your loved ones you care by considering gifts from brands that are committed to protecting the planet. Patagonia is leading the charge: in September they announced inspiring changes such as restructuring their business so all profits go towards combating climate change. But if you’re looking for other eco-friendly options, there’s plenty of inspiring ideas out there!

Not only are they cozy in cold weather, but they will show just how much you care too!
Unspun jeans
