Dr. Seuss if he was a 24 year old girl trying to get you to think more about how consumerism impacts people and the planet. 🤭🌎 A few weeks ago I saw a stash of Stanley’s at the thrift store. A place many environmentalists have been screaming from the rooftops they would end up if we weren’t careful with the trend. 25+ million people saw this across multiple platforms. Some shocked, some not surprised, and some simply wanting to know what thrift store I was at so they could get one themselves. Remember how your mom used to always say “we have food at home?” Well that’s me now. Humor me for a moment. You likely have a water bottle at home. If you don’t, find one that fits your needs, not one that aligns with what’s trending. Follow along if you need a dose of conscious living in your feed. ❤️ #stanleycups #thriftstore #thriftstorefinds #overconsumption #consciousconsumer #Sustainability #sustainableliving

Small changes, BIG impact! 🌎🤝 Did you know that shopping small and shopping local could be this powerful? Being someone who has worked at a variety of small businesses for over 7 years, I have seen how much of a positive impact people‘s shopping habits can have in lives in the community. Next time you’re on the hunt for something, see if you can find it locally first. ❤️ #Sustainability #sustainableliving #SmallBusiness #shopsmall #shoplocal #stl #stlouis #consciousconsumer
