Individuals taking small steps towards combating climate change in our everyday lives can make big impact over time. One of those steps is awareness of companies' sourcing. How are the companies we frequent sourcing their supply chains? How are they protecting local resources? How are they empowering their consumers to combat climate change with their wallets?
