#Famine in #Madagascar is caused by #ClimateChange, #Deforestation, #Poverty, #PopulationGrowth and government mismanagement.

@HIHngo is working hard to address these issues before they impact the region just to the north.

The 2021 Xmas shirt is almost sold out! And we want to highlight the people behind it. @liveimproper a philanthropic lifestyle brand comprised of 4-20-somethings from the South Bay, who practice environmental sustainability to support the homeless in the Los Angeles community!

[El Segundo Brewing @ESBCBrews]

[Pastor Troy Vaughn @TroyFVaughn]

In Los Angeles County we have the highest number of homeless veterans in the country. I was one of them. Today I’m proud of my service and being able to honor and support my fellow veterans - housed and unhoused.

We understand that the success of IE depends on a healthy planet—all of our products’ materials come from the natural world. Without the earth’s resources, we would have no shirts or surfboards to sell. We only source sustainable fibers and are constantly minimizing our footprint
