Australia has been on my bucket list for as long as I can remember, and seeing the devastation from the bush fires that took so many lives has been absolutely heartbreaking, especially as an animal lover. Hearing the toll the fires have taken on Australia’s unique wildlife population gives me that “achy, punch in the gut” feeling. Below are some on trend items you can buy that will support wildlife rehabilitation in Australia. Feel good about your purchase, support wildlife, and look cute all while doing it.
This adorable tee is available from Piper Lou and comes in several different styles and colors. I love that it has the signature koala bear and kangaroo featured, because it is a reminder that these and other wildlife need our help. The company donates 100% of the profits and has raised over $200K so far.
Find it here:
This package is for those that wish to do an ongoing donation by adopting a Koala, however, if you prefer, you can make a one-time donation instead. The package comes with all that is pictured below, and can make a significant difference in the desperate need for care of the species. The well-known WWF has spent decades making a difference for endangered species in over 100 countries. Learn more by visiting their website.
Ok, so here is another adorable shirt with an adorable koala. Small vendors like this one, found on Etsy, are doing their share to donate proceeds to help relief efforts in Australia. It just goes to show that no matter how large or small the organization, people across the world can come together in times of crisis. This shirt comes in a multitude of colors and sizes.
You may be noticing a trend here, but I just love a good tshirt, and the internet has not disappointed. For just over $18, this cute shirt is a reminder of what this tragedy has cost us and why they need our help.
Too many tees in your closet already? Why not try this environmentally friendly mug from Piper Lou. This laser-etched tumbler comes in fourteen fun colors.
Here is another adorable reusable mug from Redbubble. They will donate 100% of the proceeds to WIRES, an Australian wildlife fund focused on saving thousands of endangered and threatened animals, including the Koala bears.
So please friends, consider your next purchase from one of these companies using their talents to raise money and awareness for Australia.
It may take many lifetimes for them to recover from their crisis; let’s hope we can make a small difference in our lifetime.
