I was quite surprised and grateful that they amused me, until I asked them what they thought and one said, “Well, we might as well keep buying things, because they aren’t gonna stop making it just because I stopped buying.”

To which I said, “Maybe they won’t if it is only you who stops, but when you stop, you can choose to speak to others about why you made that choice. Also remember, there are individual people working to change each part of the current system. This means more and more people are getting involved, which I personally hope will eventual make a difference…”

I left it at that, because I didn’t want to keep preaching. After all, I do know they are intelligent enough to ponder the ideas on the Story of Stuff and I won’t be surprised if they do share it with their friends. After all, they were probably just riding me when they said that in the first place. And I think we all know I’ll be finding more to share with them on the subject, anyway. Hope you do, as well…

Thank you – you made my day. It was great to not only know people are reading my blog, but that people enjoy it!

Thanks for the kind words,
Bethany

A skin care company I like and personally use is Novaurora Organic Skin Care.

Pam, who started the company, lives in Boulder. After meeting her through an old friend, I decided to give her products a try.

I usually break out from everything and anything.

That doesn’t happen with the Novaurora products. I liked them so much I ended up helping her with her website for a partial trade of products and continue to use her products every day!
