Summer is here! In honor of this wonderful – and often too short – season, I’ve put together this list of companies that combine summer fun and social issues. These companies offer up products that will help you make the most of your summer. Who doesn’t want an extra dose of fun and adventure to their summer? I know I do!

Eartheasy

Eartheasy.com offers eco-friendly products perfect for the summer. Their assortment of products for the home, yard, and garden will make your summer environmentally friendly and sustainable. Want to grow your own vegetables this summer? Check out eartheasy’s guide on raised garden beds. Going camping? Be prepared with your LifeStraw and a new hammock. Tired of smelly trash on those hot days? Eartheasy has you covered with a new composter. Starting a garden? You’ll find everything from planters and greenhouses to natural pest control and non-toxic lawn care.

Through a partnership with Trees for the Future Foundation, a tree is planted for every purchase on eartheasy.com. So while you’re making the most of your summer, you’ll be creating positive change for the planet and addressing important social issues.

Flower Moon

Often times it seems like summer goes by too quickly. With Flower Moon, you’ll be able to hold on to a piece of summer all year. Flower Moon’s stunning and vibrant jewelry contains pieces of real flowers, preserved for eternity in gold and silver plated jewelry and adorned with enchanting colors and sparkling accents.

My favorite, and perhaps the piece that best captures the essence of summer, is the Daisy Field earrings. Made with chrysanthemum, they project happiness and sunshine.

Flower Moon supports worthy causes and donates 10% of profits to charities supporting depression and mental health research and treatment.

Solve social issues and hold on to summer all year round with Flower Moon.

Nomadik

For me, summer has always been the time to get outside and have an adventure. Nomadik is a subscription box designed for adventurers and outdoor lovers! The Nomadik box is curated with gear and inspirational/education items. Past boxes have included outdoor knives, reusable bags, healthy snacks, bamboo utility sets, and even a hammock!

There’s still time to guarantee your spot for Nomadik’s July box! The July box will revolve around “summer adventure” and is curated to “enhance your time outside in the summer sun”.

As a member of 1% for the Planet, Nomadik donates at least 1% of each sale to preserve the environment.

Green Kid Crafts

When I think of summer, I think of NO SCHOOL! While that might mean pick-up ball games with neighbors and swimming at the community school, it might also mean bored kids stuck in the house on a rainy day. Many parents have found that Green Kid Crafts is a great way to keep kids engaged and busy (and learning!) on those long summer days. It is a great rainy day activity!

Green Kid Crafts is a science and art kit delivered to your door, filled with STEAM activities and craft ideas designed to spark kids imagination.

Green Kid Crafts is committed to social change. In addition to preparing children (our future leaders!) to protect the planet, they are a member of 1% For the Planet, donating at least 1% of sales to environmental organizations. Green Kid Crafts strives for sustainability in everything they do, from their use of recycled material to their compostable bags.

If you know of someone who needs of a break from bored kids, check out Green Kid Crafts. The parents – and the planet – will thank you for it!
