Ethical Consumerism
Human Billboards
We are all walking billboards. Our words, actions and lifestyles...even our thoughts...
project a message out into the world. What does your personal billboard say to the
world? Are you living a life that reflects who and what you care about? How can you
redefine your personal message and your effect on the world around you? This
workshop/talk will provide tools for exploring ways to move toward a message that is
more consistent with our values.

No Purchase Necessary
This workshop/talk takes a close look at our power as consumers. Who and what
are we supporting with our dollars? We say we do not want our lives to support
unnecessary suffering, but we are often swept away by the latest trends and
consumer "must haves". This workshop/talk is an opportunity to examine the areas
where we can simplify our lives and say no to over consumption and the burden it
places on our planet and our wallets.
