I have been learning about some cool initiatives lately that I want to share. I am really into what these businesses are doing, and I hope you are just as excited about them!
Helping the Environment: Everlane’s ReNew Line
Everlane just released their ReNew collection, which features outerwear – made of plastic bottles. There are currently 8 million tons of plastic on our planet, and once plastic is created, it stays forever. Everlane has committed to having no new plastic in their entire chain supply by 2021. Their first step is this brand new line. Read about their plan here and shop their new collection here. Warm fleeces start at $55 and soft puffers at $98. Save the planet, stay cozy.
Giving Women Answers + Support: Modern Fertility
Whether you are far from having kids or want them soon, Modern Fertility offers a fertility hormone test that you can take from your home in your jammies. They will send you a custom test, and once you send it back, you’ll receive physician expertise and a comprehensive report – without the clinic price. Read all about it here and order your test for $199 (a fraction of the price of going to a clinic).
Informing + Inspiring Voters: theSkimm
theSkimm is a daily newsletter sent straight to your inbox (I read it every day!), and they have created a nonpartisan campaign – No Excuses – with a goal of getting 100,000 people to the polls. Get informed and inspired at their easy-to-navigate (and fun) site here, and join me in committing to vote here.
Prioritizing Transparency: Fohr
Fohr is a platform that connects influencers with brands (I do most influencer work on my Instagram). They are committed to providing transparency in the industry as it is so easy to buy followers, likes, and comments, and use bots to like and comment. As an influencer, Fohr will verify your account if you do not engage in any of this fake activity, and then brands can see that you have a verified reach. I feel proud to be able to show that I have an authentic, engaged following.
I am so excited about each of these measures that engage people in helping make the world a little better! What’s going on right now that makes you feel encouraged? Tell me about it in the comments!
I’m so obsessed with Everlane’s new initiatives! I’m PUMPED that the conversation around ethical fashion is really taking off.
Love all of these! I’m proud of you for sharing important issues and talking about deep topics when it can be so easy to stay skin deep online. Go you!
Thanks so much girl! I appreciate it!
