Honest Makes Turtle Pillows for Sick Campers at The Painted Turtle Summer Camp

July 7, 2014

From July 7-11th, 2014, the Honest team brought out our crafting skills to make “turtle pillows” for children with life-threatening illnesses attending The Painted Turtle Summer Camp.

The Painted Turtle provides a traditional summer camp experience for sick children from across the United States. This camp experience is completely free of charge and provides these children with a sense of fun, community, and outdoor adventure. Many of these children are away from their family & home for the first time so these turtle pillows are given to them upon their arrival at camp to serve as a source of comfort during their time away.

Beach Clean-Up with Heal the Bay

June 21, 2014

In celebration of the first day of summer, the Honest team grabbed our buckets and gloves to join a community beach clean-up with Heal the Bay. We combed Will Rogers State Beach for pieces of plastic, styrofoam, cigarette butts, and every other piece of trash polluting the beach. By the end of the event, our team managed to collect over 6 pounds of trash (which is significant considering most pieces of trash are smaller than a quarter in size!)

Heal the Bay is a nonprofit organization working to make Southern California coastal waters and watersheds safe, healthy, and clean. They host regular community action programs and advocacy efforts to protect the coast.
