Every year I put together a list of sustainable and ethical brands with Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals. Yes, I just wrote about how I don’t really give gifts. I still stand by that. So, I’m definitely not encouraging you to shop mindlessly. The most sustainable thing to do is to not consume stuff you don’t need.
But hey, if you’ve had your eye on something, by all means, save money during a sale! I’m certainly going to shop for myself. 🙂 I’ll keep updating this post as I learn about more Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales, so check back.
