If you don't vote, you can't complain.
The same can be said for shopping. If you lament the loss of local business, worry about the environmental cost of production, or other commerce-related impacts and trends, I invite you to look at your spending habits. Do they support your values?
Periodically, I'll link articles or new tools that help me consume more consciously. I hope you'll find them as thoughtful as I do.
