I’ve recently touched on this subject on a previous post.

I wanted to dive deeper on how individuals like you can stay aware and not fall a victim of green marketing.

With sustainability practices starting to thrive in the market, we are starting to see a ton of reusable products or sustainable products.

However, most companies use this as a marketing strategy to target consumers into thinking we are making “good” purchases. When in fact we are not.

For instance, some products will state “Recycled”. But what’s the difference between recycle and recyclable?

Some items may not be easy to be recycled because some communities may not have access to a recycling centers that provide this.

You would think these companies have our best interest in heart. BUT, it doesn’t mean we should give up or beat ourselves down for it.

It can be frustrating but as consumers we have the purchasing power. For every dollar spent on a product, we are directly letting the business know we support them.

So, always stay AWARE and doing research is key!

New Moon Vibes🌑

Each phase of the moon has taught me to go always look within. While, the New Moon represents a Yang (doing) energy. Sometimes, it’s also okay to just be. To lean in to those uncomfortable emotions.

It’s easy to endlessly look for moon rituals on Pinterest or Instagram. I have learned to always honor what your heart wants. I know it’s not an easy task. Dare to ask and just listen. Each rituals are special and unique so do you for you boo!

With the Mercury Rx happening x New Moon in Pisces has me pulled in all sorts of directions. It’s easy to blame the universe for our craziness. This past few days, I have been overextending myself. Saying “YES” to literally everything. Being there for everyone.

I have forgotten to replenish my body. So, this new moon I will be honoring what I need. REST. Haha which is hard to do am I right? I always have believed that acknowledging is the first step of growth. So, I challenge you to look within and listen.💞

So, what is sustainability?

Google says, “the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level”. Easy to comprehend right?

BUT this could mean multiple things.
What are we maintaining? What rate or level are we even talking about? Whose guidelines are we following?

If you ask me I think it just sounds fancy. As I share with you all what I have learned in this journey, we will go in depth together step by step. That way, we can all understand what sustainability truly is.

Sustainability is a concept and practice that has been applied to guide people, organizations, government, and corporations onto a path where BOTH PRESENT & FUTURE generations have the OPPORTUNITY for a high QUALITY of LIFE.

At its core, sustainability is about ethics, our values and morals.

Keep in mind the ultimate goal is sustaining economic growth while maintaining natural ecosystems.

I hope this explanation gives you a peek behind the curtains of what sustainability is! 🌏
