Be a Green Consumer
Become a Conscious Consumer
Everyday we are inevitably going to need to consume products from basic necessities to the things that make us comfortable. However, there are a few key things we, as consumers, can do to reduce our impact on the resources and world around us.
As A Green Consumer I will:
- Buy local in order to support local growers and enjoy more delicious and nutritious foods.
- Buy cruelty-free products to prevent the meaningless mistreatment and deaths of thousands of animals.
- Buy products that haven't been genetically modified to avoid unknown and adverse health and environmental effects.
- Buy organic as a means to eat more healthy and protect the environment and myself from chemical pesticides and fertilizers.
- Buy products with limited packaging in an attempt to help in recycling efforts and reduce my waste production.
- Purchase from fair trade organizations to promote the fair and ethical treatment of producers and farmers internationally.
