Airly
Oat Cloud Crackers Cheddar

Airly, which calls its crackers "the first climate positive snack," works with
farmers to use regenerative agriculture practices and capture more carbon than
is produced in making the crackers. It undertakes seed-to-shelf accounting on
the carbon capture, as well. Airly has done this at a price point, $3.49, that
doesn't draw a second look—proof that many companies can do more to produce
climate-friendly products for consumers of modest means. We hope other brands
making similar claims at higher price points will look at Airly as an example.

Applegate Farms
Applegate Naturals Do Good Dog 

"How the sausage is made," an expression referring to the nitty-gritty of
unsightly production techniques, doesn't apply to Applegate's Do Good Dog hot
dogs. This brand shows consumers and the larger meat industry that mass-market
hot dogs can be produced with care for animals and land. The Do Good Dog is made
with regeneratively sourced beef, the kind of meat consumers typically need to
hunt down at farmers markets and high-end butchers. Applegate's bringing
regenerative meat into supermarkets proves the meat industry help the planet.
Applegate is leading a conversation to bring the impact to the scale that's
required. We may not want to think about how hot dogs are made, but we'd like to
think that Applegate's example can be followed. 

Hart Dairy
Pasture-Raised and Grass-Fed Chocolate Whole Milk 

Making sense of labels in the eggs and dairy case is not simple. "cage free"
doesn't always mean what consumers think it does. Companies such as Hart Dairy
are boldly defining what "pasture-raised" and "grass-fed" mean: The cows are
outside in the pastures, eating grass, 365 days a year. The regenerative
practices and eco-packaging take more explaining, but the brand is nailing it
there, too. We like to think that even claims like cage-free that often fall
short are a step that takes the consumer in the right direction. Hart Dairy has
shown us where those steps can lead. And they are showing us with delicious
chocolate milk.

Nutiva
Organic Avocado Oil 

Avocado oil is having a moment. With a high smoke point, the oil has found a
privileged place in the pantry as the must-have staple for keto dieters, as well
as for the appliance of the moment, the air fryer. It turns out, avocado oil was
the oil we didn't know we all needed. The ascent to that prime position comes as
people have become aware of labor, supply chain and environmental issues around
avocados grown in Mexico and California. Nutiva arrives at that intersection of
opportunity and challenge with an avocado oil that is organic and sustainably
grown in a way that supports 78,000 Ethiopian farmers who raise avocados
regeneratively alongside coffee trees. 

Renewal Mill
Upcycled Vesta Matcha Chip Cookie Mix 

Most people don't know how tofu is made, much less that the leftover soybean
pulp can be transformed into Renewal Mill's okara flour, the base of these tasty
cookies. Renewal Mill builds its entire business around upcycling, using
ingredients typically discarded during production. Additionally, the company
sources from a carefully curated list of suppliers—including Vesta Chocolate, a
bean-to-bar craft chocolate factory, for these cookies—and uses only organic
ingredients. Those practices matter to some consumers; the cookies' good taste
will matter to all and it might introduce a few to the good work Renewal Mill is
doing.

Seven Sundays
Maple Sea Salt Sunflower Cereal 

The term "first-to-market upcycled plant-based sunflower protein" is a mouthful,
but it's a mouthful with some admirable qualities. Seven Sunday helps
familiarize consumers with upcycled products, those made with ingredients
typically discarded in processing. In this case, sunflower protein fits nicely
into an eight-ingredient list. That the sunflowers were grown regeneratively
before the processing boosts environmental credentials to complement Seven
Sundays' Certified B Corp standing. Though still a direct-to-consumer offering,
we expect Seven Sundays could find a place in the cereal aisle with stores that
want to highlight planet-friendly sourcing.

The Urgent Company
Brave Robot Climate Hero Super Cake Mix

Looking to indulge in the creamy, delicious taste of cake made with milk and
eggs, but prefer not to eat animal products? Brave Robot is using Perfect Day’s
animal-free milk proteins to replace eggs in its Climate Hero Super Cake Mix.
Same delicious taste and nutrition, but no cows or chickens involved! They’re
also providing the mix in a compostable bag made from sustainably sourced wood
cellulose. You can have your cake and feel good about it too. Of course, you’ll
feel even better about it if you eat it with some of Brave Robot’s ice cream.

True Grace
One Daily Women's Multivitamin 

The supplement industry has a plastics problem. All those bottles have a slim
chance of getting into a recycling bin and an even slimmer chance of being
recycled. The situation that screams for innovation, and True Grace comes at it
with 100% recycled plastic bottles and refills sold in pouches, with a share of
each purchase helping the Seabin Project harvest ocean plastic. True Grace is
tackling the industry's sourcing problem, as well, by using regeneratively grown
ingredients that provide the promised efficacy. For the One Daily Women's
Multivitamin, True Grace has added ingredients specific to women's needs such as
ashwagandha and holy basil, Ayurvedic herbs used to relieve stress. By facing
the plastic problem, using regenerative sourcing and providing thoughtful
formulation, True Grace is making waves, and we hope the rest of the supplement
industry follows.
