This Green Planet

I'm going to share with you today my absolute favorite women-owned sustainable businesses. How many times have you supported a company for its Girl Power message only to realize that there were no girls behind the scenes at all? 

This has happened to me way too many times than I care to admit. Plenty of the brands that target women seem female-founded, it's always really surprising to find out that they're anything but I wanted to take today's episode to honor women entrepreneurs around the country around the world.

Here are some of the businesses that I’ve found:

• The Arise Box
• Aster & Orion
• Fair Anita
• True Botanicals
• Green Kid Crafts
• Madison Grace
• Past Life The Collective
• Corvus Botanicals
• LOLA
• Wild Dill
• Tata Harper
• Sun Sprinkles
• Hummingbird Candle Co
• Thistle Farms
• 31 Bits

J.P. Mackey is a 12-year-old nature-lover and founder of Bumble Bracelets, a “buzz-ness” he created to raise funds to help save the bees, the number one most valuable species on the planet. J.P. handmakes each bracelet to order, with gemstones and beads including lapis lazuli, labradorite, Amazonite, Czech glass, and agate, among others. Each bracelet also has a signature silver, gold, or glass “bee” bead. 

All proceeds are donated to Heifer International’s Gift of Honeybees program, which gives local farmers a bee package, hive, box, and training in beekeeping techniques to increase the global honeybee population and support the environment. Bumble Bracelets cost $30 each, the same cost as a beehive for a farmer. So, every bracelet purchased buys a beehive for a farmer.

This week, episode 15 of This Green Planet Podcast with JP Mackey is all about growing and protecting the world's bee population. Thank you for listening!
