Responsible consumption: the key to preservation

Caring for the environment is a concern for modern society, however, most of the processes we carry out damage this fragile ecosystem, says Gustavo Copelmayer.

Encouraging and establishing responsible consumption habits require transparent information models. We need to be responsible consumers, by having a general idea of the industrial and commercial processes involved in the production of the goods and services will help us to have a better understanding and a more objective approach when we buy products and services. Our purchases’ power is the essential tool that we have in order to force companies to change their behaviors.”

“Some useful information to know before buying a product is: raw materials used, packaging, and manufacturing processes. Choose the natural; select unpacked items, manufactured close to where you live. That will save energy and help mitigate pollution. In Addition, avoid acquiring objects that are only used once and then thrown away”, Gustavo Copelmayer recommends.
