Happy Earth Day! Today, we’re celebrating by sharing more information about our 2026 donation pledge and bringing awareness to farm animal advocacy. This year, we’re committing 10% of proceeds from our new Farm designs to Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE). Read more about ACE’s work and why we chose to support their worthy cause on the blog!
Farm Animal Advocacy
With all of our nature-inspired designs, we hope to foster a love and respect for the natural world and all of the animals who call our planet home. When we launched our new Farm designs, we thought this would be a great opportunity to raise awareness of the treatment of farmed animals. Animal Charity Evaluators (ACE) prioritizes farmed animal advocacy, a group often neglected in animal advocacy and philanthropy. According to ACE “About 95% of donations to animal charities in the U.S. go to companion animal organizations, 2% go to laboratory animal organizations, and just 3% go specifically to farmed animal organizations.”
Factory Farming causes mass suffering for animals, and global animal agriculture represents 14.5% of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. ACE prioritizes cost-effective strategies to advocate for farmed animals, including policy advocacy and corporate commitment campaigns. ACE works to identify where donations can best help animals and awards grants to promising projects that benefit animals worldwide.
Take Action
In addition to supporting the work of organizations like ACE, there are individual actions we can all take to reject factory farming and all its harms. One action many of our team members have taken is joining local Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs. You can find a program in your own neighborhood to support! Additionally, shopping at farmers' markets for eggs and other animal products helps avoid factory farming. Consider diet changes if you can, explore limiting your intake of animal products, even if it's only for a few meals a week!
This Earth Day, we hope you’ll take the opportunity to further explore the effects of animal agriculture on the climate and ways you can support animal advocacy. We also have a great post on protecting pollinators, which includes more information about the food chain and our planet. Take a look here!
