We are excited to have the 7th annual Conscious Consumer Spending Index data out in the world. Lots of good news, and a fair share of bad news, to sift through this year. In total, it's a mix of thumbs up and thumbs down.

Some of the data is a little hard to solve for, but a majority of our findings confirm some suspcisions we've had about where we are in terms of momentum for the "do good" revolution.
