Tea Done Right: Good for the Soul and for the Globe

When describing the innovations of Numi, it is important to look at their business model holistically. There is no singular innovation to highlight, but rather a collection of exceptional choices and implementations made deliberately in the pursuit of global good. Numi has built itself upon an awareness of ecological impacts, earth-to-earth production and packaging plans, and social initiatives that give back to and look out for the communities that make their production possible. Numi Tea directly contributes to many UN SDGs such as responsible consumption and production, life on land, and clean water and sanitation. The company's contributions arise not only within its ecologically-sound production processes but also from the Numi Foundation, an organization created and maintained by the company that is dedicated to community improvement and wellbeing.

With the demand for New Zealand wine at an all-time high, it appears logical to pursue higher and more controlled yields through the use of pesticides and herbicides. However, when you step on to a Felton Road property, the earth appears rough with native plants dotting the landscape and hawks circling the skies, which is contrarian to many well-manicured picturesque vineyards of Napa Valley or Tuscany.

Rebuilding Nigeria: Essential Items For an Affordable Price

In America, it is easy to think of any necessity and get it within minutes at your local supermarket, but in places like Nigeria, even some essentials were scarce until PriceBreakers came along. PriceBreakers was used to help the people of Lagos, Nigeria gain access to things that are commonly found in first-world nations, such as toothpaste, paper towels, and similar products. As many advances as Nigeria has made socially and economically in the last several decades, they still struggle to be implemented into world markets and lifestyles.

As the rest of the world continues to move forward and gain economic growth as well as social growth, Nigeria struggled to keep up with modernizing its country. Little by little we see more of our community heading to virtual lifestyles which even include our shopping experience. However, that was Nigeria's chance to join in and have the closest to the same opportunity for many goods. PriceBreakers would help order and organize ways to get the products to families in Lagos without increasing shipping rates and the price of necessary items.

This innovation would not have happened if it were not for Anu and Latif Giwa's help, who, although do not live primarily in Lagos, now felt the need to help their loved ones as well as those who needed it most. The families who were isolated to the necessary goods previously had to wait weeks if not months on end for their products to be received, but now have access to them the way the rest of the world does. These small steps forward will continuously help the Nigerian economy grow and develop into a nation status similar to the US, France, and more.
