We
want a different world but what we are doing because what happens?
Before purchasing a product we should be asking questions, looking that
behind that product there hasn't been no labor exploitation or
environmental. Buy local products avoid aggravating the pollution of
goods travelling from one side to the other of the planet. Buy fair
trade goods will help manufacturers to ensure their right and improve
their economic conditions. We could also self-produce many of the
things we need, recovering a manual ability that is being lost. In a
world with limited resources, buy less things but quality or also don't
buy at all. This beautiful Gandhi's speech taken from "Speeches and Writings of Mahatma Gandhi,
4th Edn., pp384-85" It makes us reflect. " I suggest that we are thieves in a way. If
I take any thing that I do not need for my own immediate use, and keep
it, I thieve it from somebody else. I venture to suggest that it is the
fundamental law of Nature, without exception, that Nature produces
enough for our wants from day-to-day, and if only everybody took enough
for himself and nothing more, there would be no pauperism in this
world, there would be no man dying of starvation in this world."
