Genuinely don't know if this is more ethical, but I like to buy things from small companies. E.g., I like backpacking and outdoor adventure, so instead of shopping REI or Amazon or big box stores, I go to Garage Grown Gear, which offers gear from hundreds of small and tiny companies — often just one or two people working out of their garage and offering great transparency into the production process. Also I look for used stuff whenever possible. (Not recommended for food though.)

This brand is super dope, in a nutshell, they de-construct old GORE-TEX pieces from Arcteryx, North Face, etc. and upcycle them back into super dope gear. Arcteryx usually has these really interesting and bright shell colors, and I love that Greater Goods takes all these different colors and frankenstein them together to produce these really nice patchwork jackets. I think my favorite piece from them is when they turned these old shells into a kimono, and it’s a really interesting look. Since their brand revolves around reusability, they use leftover pieces from the jackets to make side-bags and water-bottle bags.

this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing
