Well, none of the world's problems will be fixed by shopping alone.
There are a lot of different ways that you can use your buying power to become a part of the solution this holiday season.

Since launching it in 2018.
Next up is the Ocean Cleanup Project, which just revealed its first product made with recycled plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch, and that product is drum roll, please.
Sunglasses 100% of the proceeds from these Shades goes toward continuing the Ocean cleanup with each pair sold funding the removal of about 24 football fields worth of garbage.
When I really appreciate about these glasses is the fact that no details were spared in trying to make buyers feel as much a part of the cleanup process as possible.
The case that the glasses come in isn't just styled after the first ocean cleanup system, it's actually made from recycled plastic from that very system.
The pouch that holds the glasses is also made from recycled plastics and styled after the huge bags that the ocean cleanup uses to store garbage after it's been hauled out of the ocean.
Of course, the frames of the glasses themselves are made with reclaimed ocean plastic, and each pair includes a unique QR code on the side of the glasses that you can scan with your phone to bring up video of the plastic in your pair of glasses being brought up out of the ocean, you can become a part of the ocean cleanups mission to turn trash into treasure for 199$ now for the hikers, campers, and disaster preppers in your life, consider the lifestraw.
This essential tool removes harmful bacteria and parasites from drinking water while you drink.
Life Straw also donates community filters to school.
Children around the world, promising that for each lifestraw sold, a child gets safe drinking water for an entire year.
You can get yourself an original life Strop, or about 20$, and they've got a bunch of other filtration devices for individuals and whole families alike.
Last but certainly not least, bombas socks, Bombas promises to donate one pair of socks to a person in need for each pair of socks purchased.
The company originally came up with the idea based on the fact that socks.
Are the number one most requested item at homeless shelters?
Bomba says that they've donated over 40 million pairs of socks so far, and if socks aren't your thing, they've also got T shirts you can get yourself and somebody in need a pair of bomba socks starting at 1400$..
