Green is the New Black: Why We Celebrate Green Friday Instead

About Black Friday 

As you probably know by now, Black Friday occurs every year on the Friday after Thanksgiving. It was started by retailers who wanted to attract hordes of shoppers to their stores by providing heavy discounts on their products. As discounts got higher and stores opened earlier, shoppers got more and more careless with their spending. Ethical sourcing and positive impacts were shoved to the side in the interest of getting the best deal possible. Consequently, Black Friday has developed a reputation for irresponsible shopping and mindless consumption - which has severe setbacks on our planet. 


Making Friday Green Again

For many businesses, especially smaller ones, Black Friday is a valuable day to help them “get in the black”, or turn a profit for the rest of the year. However, this can be done in a more responsible manner. In recent years, Green Friday has emerged as an alternative to Black Friday - a way to promote more responsible shopping and conscious consumerism during the holidays. We would like to stand by our fellow sustainable business in supporting this movement.
