The temperatures are dropping as the colder seasons take over and Lolë prepares by kicking off its Yellow Label program. This essentially revives the use of jackets that have been gently used, acting as a jacket drive that happens annually. This program runs throughout different local communities all across North America in hopes of encouraging responsible fashion consumption while giving warmth through the colder seasons.

The Yellow Label program follows a simple three-step process -- first customers bring any outerwear pieces to the nearest Lolë retail location between October 11th to November 11th this year, Lolë will then professionally dry-clean the donated items and resell them at a pop-up location located in downtown Montreal. The third and final process is the donation of resale profits towards local food banks all across the U.S. and Canada. To thank customers for donating their gently used outerwear, Lolë will be giving a $50 CAD discount to purchase a Lolë coat.

In an effort to reduce food waste, the American grocery store chain Kroger is debuting a new ugly produce program called 'Pickuliar Picks.' Just as the punny name suggests, the program will encourage consumers to pick up some fruits and veggies that might have peculiar physical flaws.

According to Kroger's Senior Innovation Manager Nicole Davis, "Six billion pounds of produce goes unused every year." As a result, the chain is introducing a new brand of produce called Pickuliar Picks that will encourage customers to pick up some of the wonky looking fruits and veggies that might otherwise go to waste. The new brand is part of the company's 'Zero Hunger | Zero Waste Plan,' which aims to change the conversation around imperfect produce and ultimately reduce food waste.

Set to debut in 2019, Pickuliar Picks demonstrates how big brands are starting to tackle the issue of food waste at the retail level.

A recent McDonald's dyslexia ad was showcased in Sweden in an attempt to raise awareness for the world's most common learning disability. Created in a collaboration with Nord DDV, this ad was displayed across the chain's digital displays. The ad would frequently jumble the letters of standard McDonald's advertisements, as well as the restaurant's menu. The result caused confusion among customers but served as a powerful tool to show how frustrating dyslexia can be.

McDonald's dyslexia ads were also accompanied by a free book in Happy Meals. This book detailed a young boy's struggles with dyslexia and how he handles everyday life. According to Christoffer Rönnblad, marketing director of McDonald’s Sweden, this campaign used the power of McDonald's to make a difference.

In partnership with the Surfers Against Sewage charity, Kraken Black Spiced Rum launched a special-edition rum dubbed 'Salvage' that will help to fight plastic waste and pollution. The Kraken Salvage edition boasts a ceramic design and for every bottle purchased, the brand will be donating £1 to the charity, which is devoted to protecting bodies of water and the wildlife that inhabits them.

Although Kraken Black Spiced Rum is known for its ceramic rum bottles, the brand unveiled a set of black metal drinking straws to further help consumers reduce the amount of single-use plastic they purchase.

As the amount of plastic that is ending up in the ocean is becoming unignorable, environmentally minded brands are launching entire campaigns and products based on bringing awareness to conscious consumption, material reuse and conservation efforts.

Founder and CEO Linda Treska supports the eco-friendly cosmetic industry through Pinch of Colour -- a brand that focuses on and promotes waterless products. The company offers a wide variety of shades -- from Honey Glow Balms and Honey Silk Marshmallow Tints to Matte Velvet Aria Lip Colors. Each eco-friendly cosmetic product boasts a waterless production and recipe developed "to conserve a precious natural resource." Water's role in the manufacturing of the lip shades is substituted by "soothing botanicals, nourishing natural oils and skin-loving fruit butters." The eco-friendly cosmetics, therefore, boast a non-toxic and hydrating formula that supplements and seamlessly blends with the skin.

In addition, Pinch of Colour is dedicated to making a change beyond ethical production practices. Hence, the company donates part of its proceeds to support water charities and make the resource available and safe to drink in developing countries.
