Week 3 EOC: Making Money For Good.

With so many companies making products selfishly for their own personal monetary gain, there are a few companies that make money for good. This doesn't mean that they will ALWAYS make money. It means they are making money for good reasons. One of these companies is TOMS shoes. For every shoe they sell, they give one shoe to someone who doesn't have shoes in another country. There are more organizations like this, here are a few more.

Tide: When people think of Tide they automatically jump to thinking laundry detergent. While this is true the company also gives to communities in struggle. During natural disasters they take a mobile laundromat and cleans residents clothing free of charge. They also sell t-shirts for $20. The money goes to families affected as well.

Sonic: teachers spend an average of $1500 out of their own pockets providing materials for their students. They sold lemonade and other drinks with ads to send them to a website to vote for their teachers. At the end they donated over half a million to help teachers afford materials to teach effectively.

Burts Bees: Burts Bees makes eco friendly bath and body product. "We're committed to protecting the planet and also to improving our community," says Yola Carlough, the company's director of sustainability. The workers of the company spend 30 business hours a year helping. Last year they closed down their head quarters in order to help build an eco friendly playground. They also donated 400 pairs of jeans, that we re-purposed to be used as insulation for homes.

This is just a few of the many. Not all companies are money hungry thieves. Many are out to do good and give back to the community.
