Sustainable Solutions

Here are two enterprises with brilliant social goals.

#1 The Fashion Pulpit

One way to help make a positive change in the fashion industry is to start becoming more mindful and conscious about your purchases. The Fashion Pulpit is a newly launched sustainable fashion initiative that lets its members swap pre-loved clothing at one permanent space. Not keen to commit just yet? The one-time option ($30) lets you hand over up to 20 fashion items in exchange for points that you can use to acquire any items you love. Find out more at facebook.com/fashionpulpit.

#2 Anothersole

We love reading about businesses that give back to society, and that’s why we’re excited about homegrown shoe brand Anothersole. Its online shop has started a “Buy 1 Feed 1” initiative, where 10 percent of revenue goes into feeding children and supporting underfunded orphanages in Vietnam. What’s more, the shoes are made from ultra- comfy, 100 percent full- grain leather. sg.anothersole.com
