We’re getting together for a summer Happy Hour at Counter Culture Coffee in Durham! 🌿☕ Whether you're a B Corp, a small business owner, or just someone passionate about people and planet—you’re invited.

Microplastics are showing up in our air, water, food—and even our bodies. Grove Collaborative’s new report alongside The 5 Gyres Institute highlights just how deeply this issue is resonating with people across the country. As a certified B Corp, Grove is helping raise awareness and push the conversation forward. It can be challenging to reduce plastics in our lives but it's possible. What's the last plastic swap you made?

This year B Lab released new standards for businesses to qualify as B Corps. You can explore what those standards look like and what they mean for the B Corp community here: https://lnkd.in/dAyN_pFZ

This is a great opportunity if your company is looking to enhance their impact or go through a certification process.
