Have you taken the handmade pledge? If you’re ready to get your handmade shop on but want to find the most eco-friendly goods available, team tags make that super simple on Etsy!
What is an Etsy Team?
An Etsy team is a group of sellers that share a common goal, passion, or craft. The artists support each other, share tips and tricks, and help promote each others’ shops. (Full disclosure: I’m a member of Team Eco Etsy and Team EtsyVeg.)
That all sounds great for crafters, but what about for shoppers? For eco-friendly shoppers, the team tags can help narrow your Etsy searches to find just what you’re after! There are tons of teams on Etsy dedicated to environmental issues. By including a team’s tag in your search, you’ll find results just from those members.
For example, if I was looking for Earth friendly purses, I could search purses and then scour through all of the results looking for recycled, upcycled, and organic finds. It makes the search much easier if I add “teamecoetsy” to my search. The results are all for purses by Eco Etsy members, who strive to run green businesses and produce environmentally friendly products.
Eco-Friendly Teams
Etsy has hundreds of teams, and navigating them all can be tricky. Here are a few teams and their tags to help you search smarter!
- Eco Etsy – teamecoetsy – recycled, organic, and vintage products
- Etsy Veg – etsyveg team – vegetarian and vegan products made without any animal ingredients
- Etsy Earth – etsyearthteam – Earth friendly goods
- Etsy Organic – etsyorganicteam – uniting sellers of organic goods and promoting an organic, sustainable lifestyle
