In honor of Earth day and broke college students everywhere // because you shouldn't have to break bank to support ethical brands~
After publishing my 6 (Ethical) Stores You'll Love As Much As Zara response post, a few of you requested a similar post with ethical picks that were a bit more aligned with your college-student budget. Which is such a valid and important request. I think being more conscious of variances in socio-economic class when posting articles is something I will be working on, so thank you always for the post suggestions! :)

1. The Yarn Kitchen: Felt Succulent Planter | (image above) ohmygosh. I might have sort of squealed when I saw these (my flatmates can attest to this). The plants are adorable, the planters are adorable, and it's handmade with organic cotton: win win win
