Using Purchasing Power for Good
June 7, 2024
An encounter with Sister Ani Wihbey, SNDdeN, at the Province Center in Ipswich, Massachusetts, will likely include a discussion about wise consumerism. It will also include a discussion of the book “The Better World Shopping Guide” by Ellis Jones, a professor at Holy Cross College in Worcester, Massachusetts.
Sister Ani Whibey, SNDdeN and author Ellis Jones.
The book encourages consumers to empower their purchases for a better world. It serves as a compass for socially and environmentally conscious buying—the book details which companies prioritize sustainability, human rights and social justice. When Jones heard about how much Sister Ani loved the book, he decided to come to Ipswich and provide her with 100 books before her 100th birthday this summer. We encourage you to read this pocket-sized reference and see how your everyday spending decisions can positively impact our world.
