The Comparison
Mission Brand
Cardamom & Clove Candle
Bright Endeavors (full story)
This 16-ounce soy wax candle will burn for about 55 hours – but the impact lasts even longer. That’s because 100% of proceeds advance the work of New Moms, a Chicago nonprofit that helps young mothers transition out of poverty with a 16-week job training program and other targeted supports.
Mass Brand
Cardamom & Clove Candle
Revolvr
Same scent and same environmentally friendly wax, but only 9 ounces and 40 hours of burn time. Yes, it’s hand-poured – but not the hands of a young mom trying to escape generational poverty (as far as we know). This one does come in a reusable whiskey glass, so there’s that.
Spend like it matters!
