Simple Ways to Support Environmental Charities
This is such an easy way to help two of England’s main environmental charities. Next time you’re stocking up on casual clothing (t-shirts, hoodies, beanies), just shop at their online stores.
Everything is organic cotton, made with green energy and sent in zero waste packaging. It’s a no-brainer!
Greenpeace Shop is the online clothing store, with profits supporting Greenpeace, which does such wonderful work to help our planet and all creatures.
Like many charities, it pairs with Teemill (an Isle of Wight company) to print-on-demand illustrated t-shirts and sweatshirts, all printed on organic cotton, and sent in zero-waste packaging.
Organic cotton is much better for the planet (and fibres last longer, so works out more affordable long-term). Also better for people with eczema, you can even send clothing back at end of life, to be made into new items.
The range is for men, women and children and is available in a wide range of lovely illustrations, to celebrate and protect our natural world.
If you like, you can add on a nice organic cotton grocery tote, to stop using plastic bags:
