Socks don't usually stir-up insane amounts of emotion. We get it. But instead of wearing your socks out and throwing them in the garbage when that first hole appears, what if there was a better way?

Nice Laundry is out to change that. In fact, they already are. As of November 2023, they've recycled over 121,871 items, saving over 18.3 million gallons of water and 114,254 lbs of CO2. It's easy to get involved. Buy some Nice Laundry socks and they'll send you a (free, pre-paid) return slip so that you can send in your old socks.

Meet Black Friday's younger sibling: Green Friday. Here in 2023, these two days are colliding on the day after Thanksgiving. As its name implies, Green Friday is a moment that encourages consumers to embrace ethical and mindful shopping by buying either from sustainable, ethical brands or by not buying anything at all.

This Green Friday, November 24, 2023 consider adding some green into your life. Shop local. Shop ethically. Or, better yet, consider adopting a sustainable practice at home. And, if you need some incentive there, tap into our "Sustainability" opportunities to bring a little green into your home.

Earth deserves a holiday too. Adopt a bit of green this holiday season and help us turn small actions into major victories.

🎁 Take a departure from traditional gift wrap. 2.3 MILLION pounds of it ends up in landfills every year.

🍽 Say bah-bye to plastic utensils and single-use plates at your holiday gatherings. Americans generate an estimated 25% more waste (about 25 million tons of garbage) between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day than the rest of the year. *
