Ecohabitude & GreenDrinks Kick Off Holiday Shopping with Style + Ethics
To kick off the holiday shopping season in ethical style, online marketplace Ecohabitude co-hosted a socially conscious social and pop-up at their New York City showroom along with Green Drinks. We were thrilled to serve as the event’s media partner because we’re so fond of the company and the way in which it verifies the footprint of each and every good it sells.
Ecohabitude’s Communications Director, Andrea Plell, addresses guests.
Ecohabitude’s product footprints help sellers relay in-depth information to customers transparently and customers benefit from its easy-to-understand tagging system. The product footprints also provide consumers the ability to conveniently shop according to their values – conflict free, handmade, organic, vegan, biodegradable, fibershed, low carbon footprint, GMO free, profit sharing, wildharvested, upcycled, and the list goes on and on!
Guests mixed, mingled and shopped (guilt free!) for the latest socially conscious jewelry, apparel, housewares, and so many other products, including our founder’s own line Dogwood and Hastings!
