GIFT GUIDE: Gifts to Help Rebuild Communities Impacted by Climate Change

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:

California Dreaming Hoodie

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.

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.
