BLACK FRIDAY REMINDER

Consider not shopping on Black Friday and Cyber Monday to not participate in one of the largest days on consumerism in the United States! If you choose to shop, please consider sustainable products with sustainably sourced materials that will last you a very long time. Examples of companies who encourage their customers to not shop on Black Friday for the wellbeing of environment are REI and Patagonia. Check out REI’s #OptOutside campaign and Patagonia’s Let’s Find a Better Way campaign!
