Are we a conscious consumer? Do we buy fair trade and sustainable goods? Do we know where are clothes are made and only buy local?

We can ask ourselves, are we a conscious consumer? Do we buy fair trade and sustainable goods? Do we know where are clothes are made and only buy local?

According to a Green Biz article, Why sustainability professionals should drive green consumerism (https://www.greenbiz.com/article/why-sustainability-professionals-should-drive-green-consumerism),

“Despite our intentions, the vast majority of us don’t consistently shop in a way aligned with our values or desires for a sustainable economy. In one recent survey, 65 percent of consumers said they want to buy purpose-driven brands that advocate sustainability, yet only about 26 percent actually do so. Another survey uncovered an ugly truth: 48 percent of Americans say we should be should care more about the environment, but convenience is more important. Anecdotal evidence suggests that right now, during the crisis, convenience trumps other concerns for most people.”

In this discussion, we will develop a topic for effecting change in what we buy as consumers.
