Zulugrass Eco Jewelry

Made from fibrous, drought-resistant grass that's quite plentiful (sometimes it's even burned to get it out of the way), the Zulugrass necklaces and bracelets from the Leakey Collection are handmade by a Massai women's collective in Kenya. In addition, "5% of profits go back to supporting infrastructure in the Rift Valley of Kenya."

Cool Earth Tree Protection T-Shirt

Cool Earth is a great organization that protects rainforests (the 'lungs of the Earth') and works with local communities to do it. Rainforests sequester Carbon dioxide, and so every time an acre is destroyed, more CO2 makes it into the atmosphere, exacerbating climate change. Support the great work of Cool Earth with this cute organic t-shirt:  "Halt an amazing 36 tonnes in CO2 emissions with this fantastic T shirt, designed exclusively for Cool Earth. This garment guarantees the protection of 12 trees in the Peruvian Amazon."
