BOULDER, Colo., Nov. 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ —
This is a story about helping our local community maintain their livelihoods
This is a story about our ability to help our global community survive
This is a story about making choices that matter this holiday season and beyond
This is a story about small businesses and how our choices make huge differences to lives around the world
Significantly impacted by the cancelled Music Festivals that make their business succeed, Filosophy, a small woman-owned business, is scrambling to figure out the new world of covid, realizing it isn’t only for their livelihoods but also for their suppliers in Thailand and Indonesia — small family owned businesses – that provide hand-crafted, fair trade, one of a kind designs.
Many companies could write this story but this blog by Filosophy makes it real. With small businesses, not big box brands, making up over 90% of the global business population and more than 55% of GDP*, hopefully everyone realizes Our Choices Matter…always, but especially now.
Small orders, we find, DO matter, not just to us in the States, but to many around the globe who are part of this global economy we so often speak of, but seemingly take for granted.
Take time to read and ponder this blog. Consider following these companies on social media. Then, make choices as you shop this season and beyond, because your choices really do matter. #Filosophy
