They remind us to not be hard on ourselves when our every purchase can’t be perfect, but through small steps of taking into consideration in what we buy, we are still making a difference. In our interview with Yaa and Ako they share how, just like at Unique World Inspirations, traveling changed their lives and imparted the understanding of the importance of conscious consumerism. Through our interviews from around the globe, we hope to inspire from personal stories and journeys of mindful purchasing in action. We hope you are enjoying these interviews of real-life examples of agents of change and collecting tips for your exploration of conscious consumerism along the way. Through each of our daily choices, we have the power to positively influence our global family, and by utilizing the power of our purchases we can work together to save the planet and its people.
At Unique World Inspirations our mission is to spread awareness of conscious consumer lifestyles, and along with it, the knowledge that we all can make a global impact through our local contentious decisions.
