BraveHeart Women Leaders of Last Week....
3 Comments
Being new to Braveheart I was looking over past blogs and found the Newsweek Oct. 2009 article describing the predicted meteoric economic rise for women and their increased shopping power. As the owner of a custom designed, luxury shopping tours by limo company in Vancouver, Canada, I think about the potential for good or ill that shopping has. In the hands of women there is a great opportunity in shopping to effect positive change in the world. To cite a few examples we can choose:- - to buy toys for children that reflect peace and beauty and not violence. - we can choose goods of lasting quality instead of supporting obsolescence. - we can avoid buying from companies who exploit workers. -we can support local artisans and farmers to save on fuel costs. - we can choose materials that are grown or produced locally. -we can frequent stores and businesses who in turn employ handicapped and disadvantaged individuals. - we could contribute to blogs on Braveheart indicating how our shopping power can bring about positive change in the world Fiona Old www.vancouvershoppingbyappointment.com I love this community and being able to read and share all these blogs. Learing so much about all the amazing women in this world. Thanks to all of you who are sharing this journey with me! Rebecca Hofeldt Horse Lovers - Free Spirit Another year to look forward to many inspirational blogs and comments and all that this exceptional community of BraveHeart Women have to offer all of us.
