Moving Beyond Consumerism

We know that our dollars represent powerful "votes" in the direction we wish to see change happen. How conscious are we about each dollar we spend, especially those that move the world in directions that are not in alignment with our aspirations for a more loving and gentle world?

At the 2015 Parliament of the World's Religions, one simple message delivered by many speakers and re-stated as a sort of bottom-line summary, is the request that we simply consume less.

Naturally, because each dollar spent is a "vote," we can also make more conscious choices about what we consume, with the interest of bringing greater benefit to all beings.

Here are some inspiring messages and calls to action that correspond to understanding Biovinity:

May all beings be well. May all beings be free!
