Living simply that others may live involves both individual lifestyle choices and advocacy. For this month, think about how your purchases reflect your value - who and what are you supporting, and who is not being empowered with your choices? Take a few minutes to share your reflections with a friend or family member.
Get educated about what your consumer choices mean!
