A while ago, I posted about giving back through shopping.
I got a wonderful comment from Ramona Russel about a website she created in memory of her sister Liz, who died from breast cancer. The website, Uptown Liz, "was founded to promote products from companies whose proceeds directly give back to charitable organizations".
The site is beyond amazing. It's set up in a way that you can shop by products or by charity.
They have everything from shoes to toys, supporting almost every cause from autism to ovarian cancer.
I think this site might just be the sight to change my mind about online shopping.
so yea. Shop for a Cause. Uptown Liz calls it "retail philanthropy".

For a CAUSE spotlights American Eagle Outfitters and Aeropostale
While I'm not obsess with shopping, I go shopping every chance I get. It makes me happy and nothing can cure a bad grade on a calculus test than going shopping and finding that one unexpected item. When that item is for a cause, I get even happier because I know that I'm doing something to help out a cause, and I realize that there are more serious things in the world, and I shouldn't let a calculus grade ruin my life.
My shop for a cause items include: a tennis racquet, t-shirts, and bracelets.
Lately I've noticed that American Eagle is doing their part in shopping for a cause. In November of last year, they launched AE better World, which you can read all about here. They launched the scarves,which supports three different charities:Big Brothers Big Sisters of America (Fuchsia Pink), Jumpstart (Berry Red) and the Student Conservation Association (Polar Navy). I'll keep you updated on their next projects, one of which is with Declare Yourself.
When I think of American Eagle, Aeropostale automatically comes to mind. They recently partnered with Do Something and they created Teens for Jeans which aids homelessness. You basically donate your jeans and you get 20% off of a new pair. I think of it as shopping for a cause with a twist: you're giving, and you're receiving and you're shopping!!
so yea. shop for a cause!!
