9 . Why shop ethically

Every time we shop we’re voting with our wallet. When we buy from brands that have a positive impact it’s like voting for a better world.

Good for the environment

We are faced with many environmental issues, from global warming to pesticide (农药) pollution, that can in part be addressed by shopping more ethically (道德地). We can help tackle climate change by switching to a green energy provider or help reduce the amount of dangerous pesticides that are killing wildlife by buying organic products.

Good for society (both local and global)

Many of the products we buy have been produced by companies that pay their workers poverty wages and then hide their profits in offshore tax havens. We can shop, for example, for products that carry the Fairtrade qualification.

Good for animal welfare

To sell their products overseas many cosmetics (化妆品) companies still test on animals, by buying from brands that refuse to test on animals you can be sure that no animals are harmed in the production of your cosmetics.

Good for body and soul

We also know that a healthy balanced diet is good for you and this usually means leaving behind high sugar and salt products that are often irresponsibly marketed to children or abandoning cosmetics that contain harmful components.

A．When we shop, we’re voting for candidates.

B．The way we spend our money can help to change the world.

C．When shopping, we should behave ethically.

D．We should shop the products with the Fairtrade qualification.
