How did you start you conscious journey? What’s your story? Green Is The New Black’s story started with a mission to wake people up and empowering them to take positive action so that we can leave the world in a better place than how we’ve found it.
As the incredible Jacqui Hocking, co-founder of Singapore Eco-Film Festival (SGEFF) wonderfully put it, “I believe story-telling is a way to share visionary ideas and scale solutions to the issues we face. Story has the power to change opinions and inspire people to make a difference.”
Create stories that matter!
Stories are not always in books. In this day and age, people are telling stories everyday across social media. You have a sphere of influence, what story are you sharing? Change your narrative to share how and why you live more consciously and use your voice for positive change.
Here are a few #LittleGreenSteps to get you started:
-
Just keep sharing, just keep sharing. Whether it’s Instagram or Facebook, keep sharing regularly on what you’ve been doing to live more consciously. It could be a pair of shoes you bought from an ethical brand or a new event that you think would benefit the community by increasing awareness on certain issues (psst.. like GITNB).
-
Hashtags. Remember to use hashtags like #LittleGreenSteps and #LiveMoreConsciously.
-
Share the love. Stay connected with amazing people in the conscious community and help share their stories as well. Because a conscious community is a supportive community.
-
Tag. Always tag the relevant organisations and brands so more people will know about them and therefore, more people can support them.
Live the story you want to tell!
