It seems like every day you find out something about a company you like and shop with, that makes you question your loyalty to the company. It might even be that the quality no longer exists for the company but they continue to raise prices constantly expecting you to fall for it.

Instead of wondering who you are supporting, find companies that make products you love and can get behind. Here are some of my well-known favorites, click the links in the names to learn more and shop their products:

1. 10 Tree

Ten Tree's mission is pretty straightforward as they promise to plant 10 trees for every product purchased, regardless of the price of an item. They work to protect the environment and sell sustainable products that come from sustainable materials such as organic cotton, and recycled polyester to name just a few.

2. Patagonia

Patagonia is by far one of the most environmentally conscious clothing brands. Every step of producing and selling the products is thought of and ways to reduce their impact on the environment are taken. Starting from the materials they use for their products, such as fair trade cotton and fleece, and using mostly recycled products.

Their employees are encouraged to bike to work, the stores and factories are run with minimal energy usage such as lighting. In fact, on Black Friday they donated all $10 Million dollars in sales to grassroots nonprofits that work to protect, preserve, and conserve the environment.

3. Levi's

Levi's puts a lot of work in to reduce its impact on the environment, such as using as much as 96% less water to make their jeans, teaching farmers how to produce cotton in a more environmentally friendly way, following the Responsible Down Standard for down filling products (jackets), and recycling old Levi's jeans by patching them and selling them as one of a kind products to cut out the waste and by-products needed to make a new pair of jeans.

4. United By Blue

United By Blue works to keep our oceans and waterways clean, and they do this by promising for every product sold they will remove one pound of garbage from our waterways. So far they have removed over 1 million pounds of trash from US' waterways.

They also use responsible materials to make their items as well, such as organic cotton, and wool. They are also a certified B corporation which requires rigorous social responsibility.

5. Life is Good

Life is Good has been focused on positivity since day one; their designs, employees, locations, and advertisements reflect this positivity. Not only do they spread love and positivity to their customers, but they also have created the Life is Good Kids Foundation.

This foundation offers workshops for adult professionals (teachers, nurses, specialists, etc.) who work with children to teach them how to create positivity in the lives of the children they work with and help the children overcome adverse childhood experiences such as abuse, neglect, and other household issues.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
