The climate change is real and there’s no arguments to be made there. With our planet and our environment being overwhelmed with pollution and waste every single day, it’s of the utmost importance that we acknowledge the problem and tackle it face on. Aside from some greener and more sustainable changes we can start implementing in our daily lives, there are also some other things we can do to help our planet.
Since we’re living in a consumerist age, we can make a change with our money. Or rather, where we decide to put our money and who we choose to support that way. Companies and brands who recognize the state of things and are trying to fight against it should be first on our lists. That being said, here are just some of the eco-friendly brands we should choose to support as they truly are trying to make a difference.

Moon Magic
Moon Magic is a jewelry brand that not only offers some of the most stunning and delicate jewelry pieces but they also have great brand values. At moonmagic.com they believe that every woman deserves to have a piece of her own magic. That’s why they try to price their jewelry as fairly as possible, so that anyone can afford it. Aside from pricing, they’re strong believers in ethically sourced and manufactured jewelry, which is not something many brands pay attention to. But it is highly-important that we – as consumers – bring more attention to such brands. Finally, the fact that they operate exclusively online allows them to cut costs which is precisely what enables them to offer their jewelry at such attractive prices.
TOMS
TOMS is another great brand that only shows that where there’s a will to do something, there’s always a way to achieve it. The owner and founder of TOMS decided to start a for-profit organization that promised to donate one pair of shoes to children in need for every pair sold. All of their shoes – and even packages – are made sustainably of recyclable vegan materials. Aside from this, TOMS is working on providing safe, drinking water, birth kits and eye services to anyone in need around the globe.
Hewlett-Packard
Hewlett-Packard, better known as hp, is a company that manufactures computers and all the additional products that go with them. They are among the first companies to publicly report their greenhouse gas emissions. They’re also one of the first companies that presented the plans on how they wish to reduce those emissions and make their business as green as possible. Aside from this, they boast an excellent recycling program, making sure that none of the products they manufacture end up in the landfills. In the end, they’ve even implemented the green mentality into their marketing efforts, bringing more consciousness through their ads.
Beyond Meat
The meat industry is certainly one of the biggest culprits when it comes to pollution and waste. That’s why there was an increased need to find a way to reduce this negative impact. And that’s how Beyond Meat came to be. This company offers delicious and tasty meat – without any actual meat in it! And even though this may sound quite unbelievable, even the hard-core meat lovers can’t really tell the difference. Beyond Meat is not only better for human consumption – as it’s made of only high-quality ingredients that are heavily controlled – but it’s also a far better alternative for the environment.
These were just some of the companies that are certainly saving the world with their green practices. As consumers, we have the power to choose – with our dollars – which companies and brands to support. And the importance of supporting only the right brands is higher than ever. So, the next time you’re looking to invest your money in a brand, do some digging and see if they’re truly the best match. If not, you’ll easily be able to find a greener alternative to support.
