Hey Honeys. Do you ever feel like you can be doing more?   This week we talk about turning your trash into someone else’s treasure!   The idea of sustainable living is not new –focusing on recycling and reusing rather than constant manufacturing means we can make  a small difference. By making small contributions like selling or donating items you no longer need, we actively participate in creating a more sustainable world.   Creating a circular economy is expanded on in Kate Raworth’s Doughnut Economics…an interesting read if you, like me, would like our economy to focus on sustainability over growth!   Shopping consciously and exploring second-hand options, not only can you save money but also contribute to reducing waste and promoting a circular economy. Whether it's through platforms like eBay, Marketplace, or local Facebook groups, your trash can truly be someone else's treasure.   Of course, we can’t talk about online selling without talking about scams…and how I had hundreds of people contacting me to see if I had PayID and if their brother could pick up…very elaborate!!   I can't wait to hear your thoughts on this episode. Stay tuned and as always enjoy the journey. Doughnut Economics: Kate Raworth: https://lnkd.in/gtW_RcdT

The choices we make as consumers matter!✨ Chief Commercial Officer of Renewcell, Tricia Carey, suggests that we — as consumers — have a voice that can influence the whole market. Let’s be curious about what we are buying and what the industry offers so that we can purchase more selectively and help drive the industry towards greater sustainability. “They need to be very curious and try to understand what is happening. And, they need to also be able to voice their opinion of what they need so that more sustainable products can come into the market.” Learn more about Renewcell at https://lnkd.in/eJYH6u3H #innovation#sustainability#sustainablefashion#FashionRevolution

H&M, the fast fashion powerhouse founded in 1947 in Sweden, has had its share of highs and lows: ❌ Racial Insensitivity: In 2018, they faced global outrage for an ad featuring a black child in a hoodie that read "Coolest Monkey in the Jungle." ❌ Environmental Impact: Fast fashion has significant environmental repercussions, and H&M has been a key player in this debate. ❌ Worker Conditions: Allegations of poor working conditions and low wages in have cast a shadow over the brand.

"A noble cause is always a good reason to do business with." Mar Vin, Foo 🪟🌿 🌎 In today's world, the intersection of profit-making and noble causes is becoming increasingly prominent. Whether it's sustainability or art, businesses are discovering that pursuing noble causes not only aligns with ethical principles but also leads to long-term success and positive societal impact. 🦄 Let's explore how businesses can integrate profit-making with sustainability or art, using examples to illustrate this powerful synergy. ♻️ Sustainability in Business: 1. Sustainable practices have become a cornerstone of modern business strategies, driven by the urgency to address climate change and environmental degradation. Companies across various industries are integrating sustainability into their operations, not just as a moral obligation but also as a strategic advantage. 2. Example: Patagonia, the outdoor apparel company, is renowned for its commitment to environmental sustainability. They have implemented initiatives such as using recycled materials, fair trade sourcing, and reducing their carbon footprint. 3. Despite these efforts costing the company money initially, they have built a loyal customer base that values sustainability, leading to long-term profitability and brand loyalty. 🖼️ Art in Business: 1. Incorporating art into business endeavors can elevate brand identity, foster creativity, and contribute to cultural enrichment. From integrating art into products and marketing campaigns to supporting local artists, businesses can leverage artistic endeavors to differentiate themselves in competitive markets. 2. Example: Starbucks, the global coffeehouse chain, has successfully integrated art into its stores through initiatives like the "Starbucks Reserve Roastery" concept. These roasteries are designed to be immersive experiences, blending coffee craftsmanship with elements of art and design. 3. By curating unique spaces that celebrate local artists and cultures, Starbucks creates memorable experiences for customers while fostering a sense of community. 🌿 Combining profit with sustainability or art not only enhances the bottom line but also contributes to a more equitable, environmentally conscious, and culturally rich society. Embracing noble causes in business is not just a choice but a compelling reason to thrive in today's world. #sustainabilityleadership #art #culture #transformation #retail #foodandbeverage ✅ Thank you for combining concepts for a winning formula.

"Hell yeah, prove that eco-friendly products are also profitable." This was the immediate response I received when introducing a peer to the mission of Omi Live last week. There are many incredible eco-friendly brands out there doing meaningful deeds. They deserve all the spotlights they can get. Because here's the cool part: when they get the attention they deserve, it creates a positive cycle: More attention -> More profit -> More budget for R&D -> Better products -> A greener industry -> More eco-friendly brands doing awesome things. Let's be real – the myth that going green means sacrificing profits is so last season. Omi Live isn't just about selling eco-friendly products; our mission goes beyond that. We're on a journey to show that caring for the planet is not just the right thing to do; it's a move that makes good business sense. So, fellow game-changers, let's keep this vibe going. Omi Live isn't just a brand; it's an invitation to join a movement where eco-friendly practices get the attention they deserve, and the positive cycle keeps on rolling.
