We have the potential to vote with our wallets, and yet most of us feel completely powerless when faced with issues like climate change and social injustice. We have come to expect more, and for less money. But there is always a cost, and often the savings we think we’re making are only short term for ourselves and are harming the planet and people at the bottom of the supply chains. What goes aro
und always comes around in the end. When the only alternatives presented to us are too extreme – disconnect totally from the rest of society, live in a commune and grow all your own food – or too niche, it can be easy to give up completely and go back to ignoring the problems. At A Better Place we believe that there’s nothing wrong with making ethical lifestyle easy, appealing, and mainstream. We’re idealists who firmly believe in the good in people, but we’re also realists. A Better Place aims to inspire and empower, never to preach. We want to empower people by helping you vote for good things with your wallets. We won’t get it right every single time, and neither will you. But together we can make a thousand little choices that can add up to one big change. Coming soon! In the meantime, connect with us:
