We’re “Feeling Minnesota” this month (it was a movie) as we gear up for a new “circle” of good on GoodCarts. It’s called Minnesota Grown & Made in partnership with our home state’s Department of Agriculture.
First up a Made in Minnesota Ecommerce Meetup on June 23rd. Next recruit our “charter” members and then make a splash.
Speaking of partnerships, we will soon be announcing our Black-owned circle partnership with 1 Million Black Businesses with a big PR campaign. 1MBB is powered by Operation Hope and Shopify.
If you know Black-owned online stores that would benefit from being part of our launch PR, invite them to join GoodCarts!
Future events include a Made in USA Meetup, an Impact Retail INTERNS Meetup (have one? invite them), and more.
And now some news and resources.

Making climate action part of your business operations with the Planet app (watch via LinkedIn)
Businesses today are faced with a paradox: a need to both keep up with consumer demand, while also signaling to customers that they are committed to sustainability.
