When I started the Etsy shop, I knew I wanted to make the venture earth friendly. The materials themselves include glass, ceramic magnets, and upcycled paper items — magazines, newsletters, discarded business cards, and the occasional political campaign sticker. But I wanted to do more, so I decided that 1% of the store’s sales will be donated to what I’m loosely describing as “earth friendly nonprofits.” (I’m keeping this loose so I have flexibility to include a variety of groups.)
For the shop’s first quarter, I’ve chosen Carbonfund.org. I’m happy with the way they make carbon offsets easy, accessible, and affordable to individuals and I like the types of projects they fund. 13 Delancey Street will make a 1% donation each quarter (i.e., the first donation will be on October 1st, covering July – September).
