Ebay Obsessions Part 5: World Of Good

wofg_banner_about.jpg
The saying "Actions speak louder than words" happens to be my personal mantra, along with "Do what you say, say what you mean." Both of these statements confirm my believe that talk is cheap, and, when talking, be prepared to back it up. Case in point: the eco-revolution. Catch words like "organic", "sustainability", and "green" have flooded the marketplace, creating awareness (good thing) but deceiving the public (bad thing). Seeing the green to be made in green products, many companies have been pushing everything from organic food to sustainable clothing. While I commend the effort, I have to ask: are they really green?

Unfortunately for consumers, there is no polygraph to detect items masquerading under the green spotlight, and trying to decipher which brands are trustworthy and which are fraud can be a long process. eBay's World of Good takes the guesswork out of green living and provides information, products, and charities that support the place we call home. Shop eBay's World of Good and earn 3% Cash Back through Ebates. Now that's just good for your wallet.


WOG Clutch.JPGWhen it comes to sustainable clothing, most people tend to think of hemp, canvas, and other raw materials. It's true that these fibers are used in making many sustainable products, but today the end result is more Vogue than vagabond. This Opal Clutch by Mad Imports is handmade in countries such as Madagascar and Kenya, and goes great with Spring's bold color palette. As if the adorable summery look of this clutch wasn't enticing enough, you'll do a world of good with your purchase-pun intended. Proceeds of this and other Mad Imports products go to helping African families gain economic independence and to environmental conservation in Africa. In essence, you're giving back to those responsible for making the cute clutch you're bound to get numerous compliments on. And we all love compliments.

Shop World of Good, and enjoy everything from green electronics to vegan beauty products. Each seller on the site supports a different cause, so rest assure every purchase you make is doing good. A World of Good.
