Sustainability Report - Q1 2023

EVERY DAY IS EARTH DAY 🌎 

Every day at DGY we make an effort to leave the world a better place than we found it. From our reclaimed Sari Wrap Skirts to our eco-friendly yarns made from recycled materials; doing Darn Good is the foundation of who we are as an organization. 

Thank you for helping us do Darn Good whenever possible. Your passion for sustainable crafting & fashion is what gets us excited to come to work every day!

So Far in 2023

Our mission for Earth Day this year was to plant 2,023 Trees by Earth Day, in partnership with Trees.org; We are so excited to report that not only did we hit that number, but your support allowed us to go above and beyond! As of March, we planted 3,008 Trees in partnership with Trees.org and have saved 26,513 pounds of materials that would have otherwise gone to landfills. That's HUGE!

To put that into perspective, here are some things that weigh 26,513 Pounds:

  • 7 Hippos
  • 26,000 Wooden Yarn Bowls
  • 424,000 Push Pins!

This is all because of you! Your passion for sustainable fashion & crafting are what allows us to do the Darn Good that we do every day. Thank you for being a part of our Darn Good community and helping us make the world a greener place, every day!

🌱 Trees for the Future x Darn Good Yarn

Every purchase from our Do Darn Good® Collection, gives back to the global community. For each purchase from this collection, a tree is planted by our friends over at Trees for the Future! For 2023, we're on track to exceed 37,000 trees planted with Trees for the Future. This amazing group works to plant trees in areas that have been affected by soil erosion and climate change. With each tree planted there is hope for the future -more food, more wildlife, and more jobs!
