Ecologic consumption

Not only the famous “R” of reduce, reuse and recycle, but also such important elements like agriculture, ecologic cattle farming and handmade production are supported.

To recycle is to give new usefulness to components thrown away,  transforming them into new products. Waste products are again introduced to a production cycle and then to a consumption process. In consequence, raw materials and energy are saved.

Responsible consumers should follow daily guidelines in order to avoid the waste and unnecessary expense, to reduce the consumption of products and raw materials, to reuse the products of daily use and to recycle the produced rubbish.

Supportive and social consumption

Social consumption also includes fair trade which is based on decent payments for the work done. This is the type of trade which emerges from the new, free, direct, honest, and nonfraudulent relation between three new economic subjects: products in the process of impoverishment, supportive consumers and non-profit making intermediaries.

By these means, social alternatives and integration are fostered and a new economic international order is established.

To strengthen this kind of consumption it is vital to have supportive consumers who are willing to pay the overprice and to consume products which arrive from those countries thanks to the so-called fair trade shops. The existence of this subject, namely the supportive consumer, is sufficient to make this new system of fair and distributive trade successful.

Green shopping

Consumers have the possibility to do green shopping, which is this kind of purchase which helps to preserve natural resources, saves energy and avoids wasting. This shopping requires getting to know how the product may affect the environment throughout its whole life. This includes materials used during the production, the way to use them, what we will do with it when we finish using them and anything which would facilitate an intelligent choice.
