18" x 12" Garden Flags
🧵Our garden flags are a thick double-sided construction and double-stitched all around. They have a pole pocket along the top to fit any standard garden flag stake (not included).
🏳️ each flag is folded by hand on our dining room table and ready to be used on a flag pole, boat, hung on a wall, or to proudly march with.
Flags For Good Story:
In early 2020, after the police murder of George Floyd, Flags For Good started as a way to channel societal rage and quarantine boredom into something that made a positive impact on our planet. Michael, the founder, also just so happen to be a flag nerd (like have-two-TED-talks level nerd) and was sick of buying flags from companies that also sold, well, let’s just call them “flags for bad."
So Flags For Good was started to:
• Celebrate diverse identities and raise awareness of causes that move humanity in the right direction.
• Donate a portion of each flag sold to a relevant charity or organization making real, positive change.
• Put more flags in the hands of change-makers like you! In our short history, we’ve been able to donate tens of thousands of dollars to great causes, and now, are getting to be inside awesome stores around the country.

The fairy penguin is one of hundreds of species harmed by entanglement and ingestion from plastic pollution.
The artist Katharine Owens is conducting a multi-year art project to create life sized portraits of the animals most at risk. She creates the portraits by hand-sewing film plastic waste that is difficult to recycle onto canvas.

This guide to living sustainably introduces the concept of the 'circular economy,' a system where no waste is generated, nothing enters, and nothing leaves. Rather than the 'linear economy,' or even the 'recycling economy,' in which waste goes directly to the landfill or is mediated by recycling processes before the excess arrives at the landfill, the circular economy strives to refuse (unnecessary materials), reduce (consumption), reuse, repair, refill, and repurpose, and regenerate materials so that landfills become irrelevant relics of our destructive and wasteful past. Through simple acts and small but significant steps, you can make the circular economy that much closer to becoming a reality. A brilliantly written and accessible guide to living more gently and consuming and using resources more thoughtfully.
