Small Actions, Big Impact: Why Your Choices Matter (More Than You Think)

Chello pretty peoples! 🥰

If you’ve ever felt like your efforts to live more sustainably don’t really matter in the grand scheme of things—especially when you see billionaires flying private jets to dinner, or corporations pumping out more plastic than we can recycle—you’re definitely not alone.

It’s easy to feel discouraged.

Scroll through social media, and you’ll see people using paper plates, plastic cups, and disposable cutlery every single day—not just for parties, but as part of their daily routines. Some are even putting plastic utensils in the dishwasher. There are entire holiday meals being prepped using only canned food and disposable aluminum trays. Add to that the mountains of plastic bottles being sold because tap water isn’t safe in some areas, and suddenly your bamboo toothbrush feels… kind of pointless.

But here’s the thing: your choices do matter—maybe even more than you think.

“It’s just a little glitter…”

There’s a trend going around right now where people cover themselves in glitter as a form of protest or self-protection. And while the message behind it is powerful, it’s heartbreaking to see how quickly the environmental concerns are brushed aside.

Replies like “Taylor Swift takes a jet to dinner, I can wear glitter,” or “If it’s between protecting myself and protecting the planet, I choose me,” pop up again and again.

But the truth is: it’s not either/or. You don’t have to sacrifice safety or joy to be kind to the environment. There are biodegradable glitters, reusable options, and sustainable swaps for nearly everything. And making those swaps, even when no one’s watching, sends ripples out into the world.

The power of 9 billion tiny votes

Think of it like this: imagine someone offers you 100 billion dollars a year. Amazing, right? But what if that one person changes their mind, disappears, or dies? You’re left with nothing. 

Now imagine 9 billion people—nearly the population of Earth—each giving you just one dollar every year. That’s 9 billion dollars. And even if a few million people forget, get mad at you, or drop out… you’re still okay. You’re still strong.

That’s the power of collective action. That’s us. You and me and the quiet millions trying to do a little better, even when it feels like shouting into the void.

The billionaires and mega-corporations may be louder—but we’re so many more. And where we spend our money, what we choose to support, and what we refuse to accept does shape the market. It shapes policies. It shapes the future.

You don’t have to do everything

If you’re someone who struggles with mental health, exhaustion, or just the overwhelm of existing in today’s world—I see you. I am you. That’s why my store exists.

Not to guilt-trip you into perfection, but to offer kinder, smarter, more sustainable swaps when you’re ready. When it’s possible. When it feels good. Because the world doesn’t need a handful of perfect environmentalists—it needs millions of imperfect people doing their best.

So next time you rinse out a jar, skip a plastic straw, or choose a reusable option over a disposable one—even just once—know that it counts.

It’s a vote. It’s a ripple. It’s a tiny piece of hope. And together, we’re building something powerful.

For a greener world 🌱
