071: Conscious Consumerism for Real People

Conscious consumers make deliberate, informed choices instead of mindlessly buying items they think they need. They know they have purchasing power, too, as such, they aspire to improve the world with their dollars. Want to be more intentional with your purchases? Here's how! 4 concrete resources within.

Conscious consumers are so much more than review-checkers.

They don’t have their credit card information saved on Amazon. They’re not swayed by “deals” or “sales”, either.

Conscious consumers don’t walk the shopping mall for fun + they certainly don’t follow marketplace trends.

You’ve heard the term but – still! – its definition remains ambiguous. What is a conscious consumer, exactly?

This week, I’m thrilled to identify key traits of intentional shoppers. I show you exactly how you can be one, too, with 4 easy-ish tricks + resources.

Enjoy!

Plastic Free July

What started in 2011 with just one woman and a small local government has exploded into a worldwide movement of over 174 million people. That movement is Plastic Free July.

Yet 15 years after the challenge’s inception, plastic production continues to exponentially grow. It’s all-too easy to dismiss the challenge as little more than an opportunity to post a picture of a bamboo toothbrush on social media.

But we aren’t just facing a litter problem anymore; we’re facing climate and health crises. A July that’s free of plastic is about building permanent habits, changing your relationship with “stuff,” and sending a clear message to corporations that you don’t want all this plastic junk.

On today’s show, challenge leader Emily Emond joins us to share her top tips for cutting through the overwhelm and setting yourself up for success during Plastic Free July.

 

Here's a preview:
