So many of us make resolutions at the start of a new year to eat healthier, work out more, revamp our wardrobe or make some sort of personal change. But what if instead we vowed to shop better? What if we made better choices as to where we shopped?
Imagine that every time you bought vitamins or face wash, you not only bought from a company that gives back to its community or uses eco friendly products you also donated to a charity. Or when buying an innovative product that supports animals or the environment you gave back to a nonprofit that supports that same cause.
These companies all support different initiatives, from community efforts to the environment, but they all give back to a cause you choose. Bonus- you save money as well. This new year is all about shopping smarter and better.
