GIFT GUIDE: Gifts to Help Rebuild Communities Impacted by Climate Change
If you haven’t felt the impact of rising sea levels, diminishing fresh water supplies, raging forest fires or massive hurricanes and tropical storms, consider yourself one of the lucky ones. As natural disasters continue to grow in frequency and intensity, more communities rely on the generosity of strangers to rebuild. Consider giving a gift that gives back to those who suffered the worst at the hands of Mother Nature. Here are a few to consider:
Charity Water Minimal Leather Wallet
Charity Water Minimal Leather Wallet
Made in Tacoma, WA, proceeds from the sale of these convenient, minimalist leather wallets help fund operating costs for Charity Water, an organization committed to solving the water crisis in our lifetime, and bringing clean water to those who need it most.
Soul Shapers Phoenix Tee
The designer of this vintage tee, which features a phoenix rising from the ashes, was inspired by the Sonoma County Fires that destroyed her childhood home. Proceeds from the sale of each tee support verified non-profits that continue to actively support wildlife relief efforts throughout California.
California Dreaming Hoodie
Maybe it’s because all three of my sisters live in Los Angeles…or the chilling Netflix documentary I recently watched about the Camp fires - Fire in Paradise - but these fast-moving and ever-increasing threats hit a little close to home. This cozy hoodie supports Camp fire victims in Paradise by donating proceeds to the Salvation Army.
Rainforest Alliance Hat
Another set of wildfires felt ‘round the world, though not as close as Cali, were the Amazon Rainforest fires. Supporting the rainforest alliance by gifting these hats will help fund continued efforts by the organization to protect the Amazon rainforest and all who call it home.
