The other week I read an article on Change.org lamenting the plight of a newly formed eco-friendly flip-flop company not being able to sell their flip flops, all because of the nasty BP oil spill.
So I skipped on over to their website, Feelgoodz.I LOVED what I read about the company and the flip flops
and bought a pair for myself!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE them!
They are SO comfortable, 100% natural rubber,
fair trade, and 100% biodegradable.
What more could you ask for in a flip flop?
Here’s a condensed excerpt reposted from Change.org. For the full version hop on over here:
“Last week, we told you the story of Feelgoodz, an ethical flip flop startup whose major summer order had gotten stuck in BP oil spill-related madness in the Gulf of Mexico.
“Whole Foods wasn't able to sell nearly the number of pairs that they had planned on, and Kyle [Berner, owner of Feelgoodz] was left unable to repay the loan, jeopardizing not only his company, but Drop the Chalk, the education software nonprofit who was supposed to get the next loan.
“Less than a week later, with the help of the Change.org community and an assist from Groupon, FeelGoodz has sold almost its entire summer line, and will be able to repay the loan.”
“It is an amazing testament to the power of the internet to help people form rapid and spontaneous communities of support. Finally, it's a powerful demonstration that this community cares not just about rallying against companies doing bad, but about supporting companies out there trying to do good.”

So hop on the bandwagon, do a little social good, and go get yourself a pair!
I think that Feelgoodz isn't going to have a problem selling their flops... Beth Terry just posted about them yesterday on Fake Plastic Fish. I'm hoping to win the pair she's giving away ;) Go check it out if you haven't already!!
