The recent flooding brought about by typhoons Ulysses and Rolly has shown how important it is to care for our planet. While holding corporations and big businesses accountable would be the most logical, though tedious, way to address climate change, doing our part as individual consumers can still make a difference. These eco-friendly stores are walking the talk by helping survivors of recent calamities through whatever means they’re able to.
Here’s how you can help:
