6) Native Shoes What happens to your shoes when they've taken their last step? Most shoes are made of harmful synthetic materials that cannot be recycled and every year 300 million pairs of shoes end up in landfills. Native Shoes is changing the game of footwear using unique manufacturing techniques and vegan materials to lighten their carbon footprint on the world. They also reduce waste by collecting old pairs of Native Shoes to give them new life as playground flooring and insulation. Most notable is their groundbreaking, limited edition Plant Shoe, the first 100% biodegradable shoe made of all natural materials and can be composted after use.

Their mission is to unite mind, body and spirit through tea, and they extend that holistic idea to helping protect our planet. Everything Numi Tea does ties back to their mission: from sustainable packaging to making donations to environmental nonprofits to tracking carbon emissions during the production process. They make sure every step in sourcing, making and selling their tea is environmentally sound. Numi Tea is also the brainpower behind OSC2 (One Step Closer to an Organic Sustainable Community), a group of CEOs and business leaders from the sustainably-focused, natural products industry that are dedicated to improving sustainability across all industries. They're dedicated to improving not only their own practices, but business practices across the board. Via Numi Tea
