I wanted to talk a little about giving back. Some indie companies do this and I really respect them for it. Fyrinnae and BftE Cosmetics are two of the companies that I know that give back in some form.

BftE Cosmetics gives back at the community level. BftE donates to their local library, to the dog pound, to the food pantry, to a church, to The Beauty Movement, to the Russel Child Development group, to the Season of Life Living Center Syracuse, and to the Syracuse Drama Club. All of this in Syracuse, Kansas. Donating on the local level really makes a difference and helps in their community.

Fyrinnae gives back on a global scale.  They donate to the World Wildlife Fund to help protect animals and the environment. The WWF works at every level, local to globally to help both people and nature.

Giving back, locally or on a global scale, may be something you already do. Donating to your local church, library, organizations like the WWF or Freecycle will really make a difference to someone, even if it’s not someone you know personally.

Freecycle is particularly neat. If you’ve not heard of it, it’s a site for people to post perfectly good stuff that they have that they no longer need so that others who need it can come and get it. It’s to help keep perfectly good stuff out of landfills. I’ve seen people ‘cycling paint, lawnmowers, bookshelves, fans and other various furniture.

Anyway I just thought on this day, it might be cool to talk about giving back.

Hope you’re all having a wonderful day!
