I can’t wrap my head around ethical businesses with “bohemian” or “boho” in their names (nevermind “gypsy”). It shows lacking awareness and respect for where their items come from because it groups them into this over-arching term for anything outside white, western cultures.

Seems a bit like sustainability 101 with some solid but basic information, although a little out of date, dont think sustainable fashion has been accused of being crunchy and granola for some years now! via @BoF businessoffashion.com/articl…

Bezos gives 0.0906% to charity.
If you make $25 an hour, and drop a $20 bill on 2 gofundme's per year, you're giving more of your income to charity than the richest person on earth.

By the end of the week, Nathan Phillips, Native American elder & vet, will become the villain of this story. The Covington Catholic High School kids will become the victims & heroes. This is why representation matters in media: Who are the storytellers? What stories get told?

It’s #GivingTuesday. On a day focused on giving back, consider giving cash. It’s efficient ($0.89 on the dollar delivered to recipients), evidence-based (165 studies and counting), and empowers poor families to define their own needs.

Artisans D’Angkor is a social enterprise based in Siem Reap. They use traditional skills like woodworking, stone masonry, and silk weaving to produce gorgeous clothing and homewares rooted in Cambodian tradition. What do you think of the silk harvesting process? Is it ethical?

Most nonprofits are completely unsustainable, in that they provide services that *should* be temporary if they're successful. As more companies adopt fair labor practices, we'll see less need for nonprofits that fill gaps in government assistance and employer neglect.
“Purpose-driven companies outperformed the S&P 500 by 10 times between 1996 and 2011.”
As companies become more outwardly focused on doing good, how can nonprofits react? buff.ly/2MkJPya
