Earth Day 2021 Eco-Friendly Gift Guide

April 6, 2021 by Angie Long

Oftentimes we buy things based on what we need or want, without putting much thought into where the items came from or how they were made. Unfortunately, many brands are still using antiquated manufacturing and distribution processes that may be harmful to our planet. With Earth Day coming up on Thursday, April 22, now is a good time for us all to evaluate our buying habits and determine whether there are better options that are more earth-friendly. 

If you have gifts to buy for any birthdays or events in the near future, or if you simply want to treat yourself, consider these environmentally friendly gifts in honor of Earth Day 2021.

Pura Vida - $32

Their continued support of the artisans turned into a multimillion-dollar brand that allows artisans from around the world access to a steady income and positive work environment. Pura Vida, which means “pure life” in Spanish, has so far partnered with over 200 charities worldwide and donated more than $3 million to meaningful causes. You can pick a cause that means something to someone special in your life. Just go to the Pura Vida website and search for the cause (chances are they support it). Then search for a bracelet that looks great and supports the cause, like this Save the Sloths pack, which contains three bracelets and an adorable sloth charm, and benefits the Rainforest Trust.
