5 Awesome, Sustainable Home Accessories Brands

2 weeks ago, the IPCC (The U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) issued a report calling for urgent action given findings that there are merely 12 years left to limit a climate change catastrophe.

Each of us can only do so much, but what we can do is actually lot, and does make a difference! The reality is that no matter what report is issued, people want to enjoy their environments and be surrounded by people, places, and objects that are naturally beautiful. The key is doing it in a way that is both enjoyable and responsible.

Here are 5 companies making a difference, and doing it in style!
