What if your gear could protect the wild?

Articles In Common is a circular outdoor lifestyle brand and marketplace for secondhand gear and upcycled goods, built for the outdoor adventurist aspiring to live the granola life.

What is Granola?

Granola living is a way of life that embraces quiet nature — cherishing all the moments instead of all the things.

It's choosing less not more, and used over new.

To pass things on instead of piling them up. To measure a good day by what you felt, not what you bought.

It is also a refusal to look away. From the climate crisis disrupting the places we love. From the wildlife being pushed out of the landscapes outdoor culture claims to protect. From the industry that profits from our love of nature while underfunding its defense.

Granola living means being honest about all of it. And building a different way forward.

a deeper connection to nature

Outdoor culture has changed.

The community that grew up around the outdoors is more climate aware, more politically engaged, and more attuned to the gap between what brands say and what they actually do. They are asking harder questions about PFAS, recycled material claims, and synthetic textiles that break down into microfibers contaminating the lakes, rivers, and oceans that wildlife depend on.

They are asking why the industry stays silent on wild horses, burros, and wolves being rounded up, suffering, and killed on the public lands outdoor culture claims to protect. They are asking who the industry's partners really serve.

These questions are valid and they deserve honest answers.

That is why we created Wild for Climate — our climate initiative built to provide truth, transparency, and accountability in the outdoor space. It is where we examine the claims the industry makes, educate our community on the threats wildlife currently face, and stand for the kind of accountability that makes real change possible.

Articles In Common is the marketplace.
Wild for Climate is the work behind it.

Resale for Good
Your gear has more than one purpose.

We believe gear can do more.

We started with a simple belief: the gear sitting in your garage can do more good out in the world than in a gear closet –– it can directly fund the fight to protect the wild places it was made to move through.

Co-Existence First
All living beings deserve a habitable planet free from suffering.

We help protect wildlife.

Every transaction is tied to a specific organization doing specific work right now. We have partnered with Sea Shepherd, All Seated In A Barn, American Wild Horse Conservation, and the Center for Biological Diversity. The fight to protect wild horses and burros from the BLM slaughter pipeline. The fight for marine wildlife. The legal battles that determine whether the wild has a future.

California Outdoor Recreation Partnership

We engage at the policy level.

We are actively involved in California's Extended Producer Responsibility rollout, working to ensure outdoor textile producers are compliant and accountable for the full lifecycle of what they make.

A Circular Outdoors

We build circular infrastructure.

We work with climbing gyms, outdoor brands, repair operators, and industrial recyclers to keep gear and textiles out of the waste stream. Things that can no longer be resold get routed to industrial recyclers — not donation bins where they eventually break down into microfibers that contaminate the water systems wildlife depend on. We recirculate our own packaging. We welcome yours.

Building Awareness

We educate our community.

Through our community centered ReDrops, and our climate initiatives we are reshaping our relationship to the outdoors. By building awareness of the threats wildlife currently face and the ways we unintentionally contribute to them. An informed community is a more powerful one.
