🚫🖤 Black Friday? More like Black Hole for our pockets and planet. 🖤🚫 Every year, we’re bombarded with the idea that happiness can be bought with a sale. But at what cost? From overconsumption to environmental harm to the exploitation of workers, the true price of Black Friday is higher than any discount. Instead of falling for the frenzy, why not use this day to reflect on what really matters? Let’s slow down, support small businesses, and make mindful choices that benefit people and the planet—not just our shopping carts. 🌎✨ Use this day to unsubscribe from any shopping sites so your inbox isn’t full of empty promises and clever marketing schemes that intend to make a profit over the planet.   #BoycottBlackFriday #MindfulShopping #SupportSmallBusinesses #ConsumerismIsNotHappiness #ThinkBeforeYouBuy
