Think about the kind of world you want to live in... Really, take a moment and think about it. Does it resemble the world you find yourself in, right now today?
If not, do you wonder how you could assist in creating the changes needed to achieve your desired world? It won't happen by wishful thinking, but there are real, proven actions you can make to create change!
Do you think that using social media to spread your ideas has any real impact? What about attending a protest or writing letters to your elected officials, do they actually listen and alter policies? Most people feel these kinds of things are ineffective and have no real value, and unfortunately they are right.
How about voting? Well, now we ARE on to something, but what if we told you that your real voting power isn't in the form of a ballet every few years, but in how you spend your money?
Voting With Your Wallet
In politics, we vote for or against a new legislation to be enacted. In a less formal, but more effective manner, every time we spend our hard earned money, we are casting a vote for or against something. When you buy from a company, you are essentially telling them that you agree with their practices and to keep up the good work.
When you support small businesses, you are choosing to help these independent brands survive, rather than supporting an already wealthy billionaire or multi national corporation. You have a choice where you spend your money, and your choice matters. Voting with your dollars is more successful at achieving these goals than traditional voting has proven to be. 
Personal Purchasing Power Goes Both Ways
The brands you give your hard earned money to are the ones who will make it to the next year and beyond. The businesses that are not making a profit will eventually go under. As consumers, we have so much purchasing power to affect business practices. You are quite literally approving of their practices, by supporting them with your purchase.
For example, when you buy organic foods, you are voting for healthy farming practices and against pesticides and genetically modified foods.
You also vote with your dollars by what you choose to NOT buy.
Final Thoughts-
Every dollar spent is a vote for the kind of world you want to live in and we hope we have helped you understand the true power you have through your purchases. Now let's take it one step further and talk about what shopping with us achieves.
