SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL & THE GIVING SUITE
In January of this year, eConscious Market proudly empowered a whole new concept in giving: The Giving Suite at the Sundance film festival. Over the course of 10 days, we merchandised hundreds of eConscious Market products, including Gooc, Her Design, Ethletic Shoes, English Retreads. On behalf of 6 select Non-Profits, we sold our eco products to the festival attendees, and raised almost $17,000!
We decided to turn the idea of the "Gifting Suites" on its head. Instead of giving away hordes of products to folks who probably don't need them, we decided to create a place where people could BUY eco-friendly products at a reasonable price, while donating half of each sale to the amazing Non-Profits featured in the suite (United Nations Refugee Agency, Our Future Now, Earth Pledge, EMA, Water Keeper Alliance, Healthy Child, Healthy World and Room to Read. Thanks to our amazing eco partners , we sold more than $35,000 worth of products and raised thousands for each of our Non-Profit partners!

University of British Columbia researchers have put a price tag on happiness. The good news: happiness is available for the low, low price of $5.00 (Canadian, that is).
The better news: you can't spend that money on yourself. Instead, to get the most smiles per dollar, you have to spend money on other people.
