Slacktivism

CAN WE BUY OUR WAY OUT OF POVERTY?

That was the headline for the Vivid ideas exchange event I attended yesterday, as part of the Vivid Sydney festival. For those that don’t know about it, Vivid is major three weeks long Sydney event where colourful lights are blasted on to iconic buildings around the city, making them dance to esoteric soundtracks.

The ‘Vivid Ideas’ event, hosted discreetly by Huddle (A community-minded insurance company) was filled with a crowd of… Let’s just say, if the crowd was bread it would be a bespoke organic sourdough from Sydney’s upper-middle-left-leaven suburbs.

There were three-panel speakers. A reasonably unprepared, but clearly passionate, James Dunlop from Oxfam Australia, Dr Stuart Palmer, Head of Ethics at Australian Ethical (superannuation fund) and ‘reformed fashionista’ Clare Press, of Wardrobe crisis.

There was also beer and representation from 4 Pines Brewing Co. I didn’t at all mind having a couple of free beers at midday (Don’t be judgey with me, they are a certified B corp after all).

SO… CAN WE BUY OUR WAY OUT OF POVERTY?

Short answer: I’m still not sure.

We certainly can’t hope to, if we don’t get a concrete answer from a room full of like-minds and industry-leading business representatives.

The vague conclusions made by the panel was typical of these kinds of events and conferences. Powerful and responsibly-minded organisations keep telling everyone how their organisation is empowering change. Through their various collaborations and projects, they have provided water to such and such village, or micro-finance a group of women to do something cute like ‘basket making for a fair wage’.

Dr Stuart Palmer of Australian Ethical was the only speaker who had a good crack at answering the question, and associating real-world examples of Australian Ethical’s spending decisions and how they affect poverty… He used the example of their investment in Tesla being challenged by the fact that Cobalt (used to make batteries) is often mined in conflict zones of the Congo. He told us not to punish ourselves for being perfect when it comes to conscious consumption. Instead, like Australian Ethical does, we must focus on being GOOD. Because perfect production and perfect products and perfect people are a myth.

Agreed.

Still not answering the question however because the ‘we’ in this discussion isn’t your CSR team, it’s my neighbour Wayne, the everyday consumer.

Hearing about how Big Business does good can be nice. Don’t get me wrong. But it won’t actually provide any practical tools or advice to everyday people, to understand the impact of their consumer behaviour on millions of less fortunate others around the world. We’ll get a big pat on the back for buying our organic, fair trade, conflict-free bespoke tea cosy from the Oxfam shop. Literally being rewarded for our contribution. But if we really wanted to make a difference,

WHY DON’T WE JUST DONATE THE SAME AMOUNT OF MONEY TO OXFAM?

This ‘I deserve recognition’ mentality is precisely why so many businesses are using socially and environmentally responsible initiatives to greenwash their image. On an individual level, our slacktivist ego will inflate when we participate in a fun-run, faux famine or retail scenario that makes us feel like we are doing something. Something that we can share on social media or get a thank you ‘gift’ for.

In the last few moments of the panel discussion, Claire Press gracefully pointed out a big hole in the days’ discussion, urging the room to consider whether events like this are simply “preaching to the converted”? Yes Claire, they are. They are if the speakers don’t embrace the opportunity to offer advice to the educated and motivated audience who have travelled, paid and taken time to see them.

In my mind, the outcome of an impassioned conversation about ‘Buying our way out of Poverty’ should be focused on helping people to make informed decisions about what they buy. By “others” I mean the Helgas, the Tip-Tops and the Light Rye Cobs.

Specifically, the ‘everyday Australians‘ who simply don’t have the resources (time, disposable cash for event tickets, motivation or education) to care or effect change. The single parents who simply need to clothe their kids and don’t care if the school uniforms are made from organic cotton. The pensioner who can’t walk to the shops can’t be expected to get a taxi across town to buy organic groceries.

But those people in the room at this particular event (including myself) have the ability to set up grass-roots services for organic food delivery, encourage industry reform in uniform manufacturing or tell their mates that it is possible to get cost-effective, high-quality clothing that will last, instead of the cheap fall-apart bargain bin stuff.

CAN CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR DIRECTLY HELP PEOPLE IN NEED?

yes, i know today’s your birthday. and i’m going to know it’s your birthday every year for the rest of my life because some things i can’t erase. but that doesn’t mean you still have a place in my heart. and you don’t have a place in my mind either, unless i notice the date and it’s your birthday, or that song is playing, or i see your daughter or you show up on my socialfeed. so what i’m saying is at this point you’re just muscle memory and that muscle just happens to be my heart.

Having spent time away with my family i learnt a valuable lesson. No phone,no photos,no social media while me and my loved ones explored our break to have quality time that is kept between us. I know i go on about quality time but it is fundamental to tell you that real life experiences is needed and reminds you not everything needs to be shared on social media. Some parts of you should be kept with your family these memories form a special bond only you and your family can be part of for years . Treasure your precious time because privacy still matters . Everything i do and what i share in my socialfeeds isn't to gain fame but is purely to help each and everyone of you to seek opportunities to learn and experience for being a better you. I love everything i do and i am blessed to find all my followers benifit from my feeds. I will kerp motivating you to succeed your drive to your own goals. Remember it doesn't matter what your needs are even the simplest goals is pride of achievement that you can get with my help. In mean time i have to say my daughter posted her first body positivity image while in cyprus to show confidence is in all ages . She inspires me to believe in myself and i was compelled to reach out to you all and share my energy is transcending in this image and this energy needs to be shared to you all! What you do with my positive aura energy is up to you. #healing #soulmate #beachlife Wearing PR Gift from @justfabeu Yellow split breath able dress with multicolored heels ! #pr #gift #collaboration #justfabshoes #justfabstyle #justfab #ootdfashion #influencer #motd #longhair #bootsuk  #nature #wheelchairbeauty #lifecoach #lifestyleblogger #bbloggers #fashionblogger #motivate #inspire#confidence #nickidonnelly #positivelife #positivevibes #styleinspo #positivemindset #lifelessons #instamakeup #lifestyle #happiness  #fashion #summertime #indianmodel #lovecyprus #cyprus #visitcyprus https://www.instagram.com/p/B0gtNgHFyrw/?igshid=i2uorim2v620
