Vote with your spending. Don't spend your hard-earned dollars with companies that have rolled back their DEI initiatives. Every purchase you make is a choice - make it one that benefits the world and our communities. Small changes lead to big impacts & our shopping habits do make a difference.

I love researching great products, have discerning taste, & deeply value ethical standards. Say buh-bye to behemoth Amazon & howdy to the great companies on Tippy's List. Amazon may have trillions of Items, but at what cost? Their plastic waste creation & carbon emissions continue to rise, employees are treated terribly, and they've abandoned their promised eco initiatives. Do we really need a drone delivering our TP anyway? Not to mention Amazon/Washington Post owner is now censoring the WP opinion section. Let's keep it real and not support censorship, folks!

Instead, shop with smaller/independent businesses that prioritize ethical practices & companies that are maintaining their DEI practices. Conscious consumerism is where it's at. There are so many wonderful businesses to replace Amazon & other online megastores scrubbing their DEI initiatives.

Find my favorite ethical recommendations below for the things you need online below. Happy shopping & if you have some favorites not listed below, please let us know in the comments.
Also, scroll below for a list of companies to avoid due to their anti-DEI rollbacks. This is a living list and will be updated.
