113: How To Spend Consciously Post-Quarantine, + Support Local Without Consuming

Conscious consumption can be tricky right now, during these quarantimes – if you’re not someone who typically spends freely, perhaps you’re feeling pressure to support local businesses in capacities you don’t normally, or maybe you’re just itching to make a frivolous purchase because you’re seeing more advertisements on social media. Whatever your struggle, we are putting conscious consumption into context: how should you be spending during and post-pandemic? We are breaking down unique ways to support business and brands that align with your values, and we’re also sharing some ideas to support organizations you like without spending dollars. Topics include equity, shopping small and/or local, building community online, equity and social issues, + more. Keep in touch!
