You’ll be raising money for the Rainforest Action Network at the same time, because I’m Tired of is donating 50% of each sale to the nonprofit for its continued mission of environmental protection.
The company makes the bracelets from recycled tires, and uses recycled metal in the beads. A whole range of things that we’re all tired (world hunger, cancer, global warming, etc.) are available as bracelets, and half of the $10 price of each is donated to charities that you help to choose.
Here’s the link to grab an I’m Tired of Coal bracelet.
Sounds like a win-win: Recycled materials, raising cash for non-profits, and helping people spread the word about the issues they care about.
We could use a lot more businesses like this.
These kind of remind me of the “LiveStrong” bracelets. But cooler, of course. Plus, with the up-and-rising generations, saying what means a lot to you on your person is a style.
