[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Wellness Feed launched as a lifestyle and news publication devoted to the wellness and eco-friendly scene in 2020. Created by a journalist, TWF answers readers’ questions about living sustainably with educational and call-to-action articles. Some readers have even dubbed The Wellness Feed as; ‘news you can use.’
Here at TWF, we pride ourselves on being a one-of-a-kind publication with transparent brand interviews highlighting ways companies are and aren’t sustainable. That begins with researching and vetting a brand to ensure that from sourcing to shipping the finished product, they have made the best choice possible to minimize their environmental impact while making a positive social impact. We aren’t afraid to ask brands the hard questions. A few routine questions that we ask brands are:
- What does it take for your brand to be sustainable? In what ways do you feel that you’re not sustainable?
- How do you source sustainably and ethically?
- Are your materials regenerative, organic, upcycled, or recycled?
- How are you preventing water waste and pollution?
- How are you preventing waste at your product’s end-of-life?
- Is your packaging single-use plastic?
- Do you invest in a living wage?
- How do you give back to communities where you source the raw materials for your products? How do you ensure the economic well-being of your workers?
- Is your management team diverse and inclusive?
- What are your company goals to be more ethical and sustainable in the future?
Everything that we consume has an impact, so we don’t believe in the perfect sustainable brand. We believe in making the best possible choice. That’s what we look for in brands.
As much as we place importance on transparent interviews, we also aim to guide readers on how we can cultivate a more sustainable lifestyle by making simple swaps and conscious choices every day. We highlight this through:
- Buzzword Breakdowns: We do the heavy research for you to help you understand everything from fabrics like linen and recycled nylon to terms like ethical and living wage.
- Shopping Guides: Interested in solid beauty products like shampoo bars? Want a list of supplement brands that don’t package with single-use plastics? What about a great pair of flats that give back? We’ve searched, researched, and curated shopping lists from sustainable and ethical brands that source responsibly, produce transparently, empower artisans and garment workers, are single-use plastic free, recycle waste, and support charities.
- Expert Q&As: How can we recycle better? How is recycled cotton made? What makes recycled nylon better? How can we garden with local plants? We ask experts to share their knowledge across various industries to share their knowledge and insight.
We love to answer readers’ questions and offer guides sharing ways we can be more considerate of the environment every day. And, just as we view sustainable brands, we don’t believe in the perfect sustainable lifestyle. Instead, we look for the best possible choices that we can make.
