Warby Parker is a NYC-based eyewear brand focused on design and, like some very notable brands (Stella & Dot, Greycork, Casper) aims to cut out the middle man and to provide affordable eyewear that’s convenient to try out, via their home try-on. All of their frames are made with either metal or cellulose acetate, a natural plastic made from purified cellulose (trees, essentially) and all of the designs are created in-house.
Heartwarming causes are nice, but let’s give to charity with our heads
The opportunity costs of charity and raising the question of altruism. This is why I was proud of my high school for selecting to donate to seven kids who needed surgery/treatment for cerebral palsy instead of choosing the more popular, and better marketed, WWF (World Wildlife Organization) or Salvation Army, which was getting supplies through another school event anyway.
Also, I now know of charitable organizations that I could (probably, research time!) be proud of sending my money to, and discussing, instead of only donating my time as I’ve been doing out of trepidation.
