Buying Socks Can Help Our World Be A Better Place!

Sometimes when I watch the news, I feel like our world is falling apart as we’re plagued with so many problems.  And, sometimes when I think like this, I feel hopeless.  But, other times I see people taking an active role to help our world, and then I feel there may be hope after all.  People that do seek to help our world are inspiring, to say the least.  That’s why I’d like to introduce you to Sock Problems, a company that sells socks with a cause.

A Company With A Cause . . . Actually Multiple Causes

Sock Problems is a company that was founded by Ryan Berman and started up this past November.  They sell colorful socks with unique designs that bring awareness to some of our world’s pressing problems. The issues that Sock Problems wants to help improve are autism, cancer, racism, extinction, breast cancer, hate, climate change, and inequality. Their hope is to “sock” such problems and make our world a better place to live in. Thus, their mission is to, “Care, Wear, and Share.”

And, As For The Socks, Purchasing Them Has A Lot To Offer

As for the socks, they’re beautiful and of great quality.  Each one is well thought out in terms of design.  I tried on the socks against animal extinction. They are comfy.  They offer arch support, which is always nice.  According to their website, their socks have a “hand-linked seamless toe,” which, for me, makes it more comfortable when you put on shoes.  For the socks I received, the care is simple:  wash in warm water (no bleach) and air dry (do not iron).

The partner for these animal extinction socks is the San Diego Zoo Global Wildlife Conservancy. This wildlife organization helps to save and protect animals. (I checked out the various conservancy projects this organization is working on, and it’s an eye opener.  There are many tragic animal situations going on in our world that they are trying to make better.)

How Purchases Help The Causes

When people purchase their socks, Sock Problems donates portions of its revenue to various organizations/charities that strive to improve our world and its people.  They donate according to a tiered system.  Once they meet a certain level of sales of socks, their percentage of donations increases according to the specific tier. Their ultimate goal for donations is 50% of revenue. As for how donations are utilized, Sock Problems wants to be a transparent company.  They want to be open about how money they donate is utilized by their partners in charity.

With Valentine’s Day coming up, any of their socks would be a cool gift for friends, family, a loved one, or yourself!  By purchasing these socks, you’re giving a caring gift to someone you know. And, you’re also giving a gift to the world!
