It has taken some time but more and more people are becoming aware of the impact that they have on the environment. They are also starting to understand how much different corporations impact our communities and ecosystems.

There are a lot of reasons why you should support companies that are dedicated to being sustainable but we have chosen a few of our favorite reasons. 

Here are 5 different reasons you should seriously think about switching to buying from sustainable companies:

Better for the Environment

This is probably the most obvious reason of why you should think about switching over. We as humans send out a lot of pollution into our earth, which is also the place where we live. Taking care of our environment ensures that we are taking care of it for future generations. 

When we do not take care of our planet and do not understand the impact we have on it, things can get scary pretty quick. Look at the Bhopal disaster and other events that you hear about from the news about different leaks and spills that impact the lives of thousands of people. 

It Keeps You Healthy

When you are thinking about the environment you are also thinking about yourself and your loved ones. This may not cross your mind as you are scrolling through different websites and articles, trying to figure out where different products come from and if they uphold ethical practices. 

But in the long run if you are buying locally and even growing your own plants you really are creating a healthy lifestyle. You are not buying plants that have been grown in unknown places that have been sprayed with a variety of chemicals that may or may not be safe for you to ingest. This also creates a good environment for you and gives you the option to support yourself without needing to rely on online shopping to get what you need.  

Your Community will Thank You

Well, your community probably won’t put you on a float and give you a sash and a ribbon. While that would be awesome, you will get the satisfaction of knowing that animals, people and living things were not harmed in the creation of products that you use. 

You also know that as you change how you live, what you recycle and use will not have a negative impact on the environment when you are done using them. These products can be reused and not tossed in landfills with everybody else's garbage.  

Create a Better Life Now and For the Future

You may find that this new lifestyle is a little different and maybe even a little awkward at first. This is normal and you will eventually get used to it. When you choose companies make sure that you choose good companies. 

Read about doTerra vs. Revive and see what kind of companies you can support that are dedicated to transparency about their products and processes. This gives you the knowledge that you need to make informed decisions about your products and what you put into your life. 

Peace of Mind

When all is said and done, there is nothing better than coming home, resting your head and knowing that you have done your best. This allows you to walk with your shoulders back and stand tall. You are supporting businesses and companies that are accountable and understand the impact they have on this earth. 

You also understand your power as a consumer and have done enough research on specific companies. This allows you to share your knowledge with your friends and family to help spread the word about sustainable companies. 

These are just a few of the reasons on the benefits of supporting great companies. While there are many more reasons, it is important to find a reason that is meaningful to you. What are some of your favorite sustainable brands that you use? Comment below to start the conversation!
