The Millennial generation (people who are 18-30) sometimes gets a bad wrap. We've been called lazy, self-absorbed, and only into makin' money. But guess what? That is actually SO not the case!

According to Fast Company, we want to feel a sense of purpose within out workplace, and we want to begin to make a difference in the world so future generations will have it better than we do. So, are you all about that giving back life? Thought so.

Here Are 3 Ways To Give Back This Summer:

+ Park + beach cleaning.

With the warmer weather we see an influx of people using our beaches and parks, which also means more garbage. People can be a bit lazy, and instead of being kind to the earth and throwing the trash away, they decide to leave it behind. This is where us do-gooder Millennials come into play. As you walk the ground of the park, or sandy miles of beach, do a good deed and pick up as much trash as you can! Not only will it make the area much more appealing, it can save many animals from getting sick/ hurt!

+ Avoid circuses + sea life parks.

When you are trying to think of fun thing to do this summer, keep circuses and sea life parks off the list. Yea, yea I know that it´s often fun to see the wild animals, but once you learn a bit more about the truth behind animals in captivity, you may re-think ever stepping foot inside. Instead of visiting a park, rally your friends together to watch Blackfish, a powerful new film that is helping reveal a bit more of what goes on inside the sea parks. As for circuses, well just Google that one. Sadly, so many animals are being mistreated, and it's quite heartbreaking.

Buy conscious clothes for summer. 

Before you head to the mall, I have a better solution for you! Instead of getting the same old clothes that all your friends have,  think outside the box and support innovative businesses that also give back. For a nice pair of sunglasses, DEF check out our buddies over at Warby Parker. If it is shoes you are looking for then OBVS TOMS are the best of the best. For a full list of fab clothes that also give back, you gotta check out this amazing list that my fellow writer Claire put together!
