Consume Consciously | Week 1
October 2, 2020It’s the best month of the yeeeaaarrrrrr!
October hits so hard for me in regards to new energy, fresh breeze, and a new sense of revival in all projects. With this, I’m shifting focus to consumption for the month of October.
Consumption links to (pretty much) everything related to the demise of our environment & finite resources. Consumption is programmed into our being, and it a part of our daily activity. That being said, it can also be a valuable tool for reallocating resources. Conscious consumption is key in modifying the current flow of resources that define our economy.
~~~~~~Now for the good stuff~~~~
This week I’m featuring a variety of shops that are worth supporting. Conscious consumption is all about being mindful of each purchase, and being aware that where you spend your $ you show your support. Make sure to fully stand by the companies that you spend your $ on.
Basically, spend your money here when you feel the urge to purchase new items <3 Every Friday I’ll feature another 5 shops to check out <3
