7 planet-friendly businesses to follow on Instagram if you want to be a better human
In case you missed the memo, we’re here to remind you, it’s Earth Day! Earth Day is a day of magic where we as humans make an extra effort to give back, clean up, and beautify the planet we all call home. In celebration of this year’s Earth Day, we wanted to highlight some of our favorite planet-friendly small businesses that are taking off on Instagram.
Whether it’s @WolfDiningLA using every edible part of an ingredient at their California restaurant, or @OsmiaOrganics’ luxurious organic, all-natural skincare products that aim to have a gentler impact on the planet, these small businesses — sometimes operated by only a handful of people — are using Instagram to connect with an enormous and passionate community around the world.
Discover just a few of our favorite environmentally-friendly small businesses across the U.S., and follow them on IG to inspire more eco-friendly habits in your own life every day.
