Where should I go to next?
Hippie vibes.
I've always had a love for a more natural way of life, whether it be toiletries I use, ingredients I cook with, or fabrics I wear.
With the current political climate, I find myself asking the question, "Why would I want to support this very corporation getting such a large tax break and treating their workers less than minimum wage?"
I also started to think about the origin of the products I use on a regular basis. Where it came from, who made it, why did it cost $____, and the type of packaging it came in. Over the past six years, I have come to realize that my priorities have changed. I need to think about each purchase I make and how it impacts the economy and environment. If more people make good choices, good things can happen on a larger scale.
The packaging struggle is real.
So, I did some research. On ethical brands, brands that emphasize repairing goods instead of replacing them, brands that pay their workers a good living wage, provide them with basic needs, recycle materials to create new products, and minimize their package.
Walmart scares me too, Bernie.
Talking to a friend this summer, I felt encouraged to share my research with those interested in making positive lifestyle changes without having to make big sacrifices. It has been much easier to do this than I thought it would be, and I like to think that many others can follow suit.
Let's go all-in.
