Use Your Wallet As A Weapon

It is mind boggling to consider every element of a products footprint and you may find yourself spinning in a world of questions and worries if you do.

It is difficult to understand how production and disposal of products affects people and planet because we are so far away from these chapters in the products life. We only use products when they work and throw them away when they no longer serve us.

If we do entertain such thoughts they are confusing, upsetting and difficult. It is much easier to pretend everything is fine or that it doesn’t really matter. There are some businesses and companies out there that carefully consider where their materials come from, who makes their products and what happens to them after they’ve been used.

By supporting businesses who are aware of their impact, who are attempting to become more positively engaged with people and planet, we are actively encouraging this behavior to grow.

For instance; If we start consuming less plastic, less plastic will be created.

If we begin consuming more biodegradable plastic, more bioplastic will be created, therefore more money will be invested into developing better bioplastic.

Acknowledge what efforts you are supporting and what practices you are dismissing. A few extra pennies or pounds can have a huge impact for people and the environment.

Our actions have knock on effects across the world, on real peoples homes, lives and the planet. Make it a positive one.
