Our Earth Day, Every Day Candle Collection with Little Lemon Candles is inspired by the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals. These goals are

designed to be a "blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all." In preparing for this launch, Kayla and I selected 6 Goals that we felt passionate about - Affordable & Clean Energy, Reduced Inequalities, Climate Action, Life Below Water, Life on Land and Responsible Consumption & Production. 10% of the sales of each candle will go to an organization that aligns to each goal. We hope you enjoy this project just as much as we do and feel inspired to select a cause of your own to support in effort to advance sustainable development!
