…So instead of consuming more, let’s consume responsibly

Share

Before, we would rush to Leroy M... and it would be negotiated in 5 minutes! Well, now it's a compulsory circuit, we go through the whole store; all that to buy the latest pink drill, special for feminine hands (and yes, at C.A. BIO, we DIY, assemble displays, decorate for product shoots...) which we'll never use (and yes, no need for a drill to assemble the display, just a small instruction manual and a stopwatch to beat Ludivine's record)! You don't understand what I'm getting at? Simply that we are pushed to consume! Always, always, always consume more, hence the famous marked-out path through all four corners of the store, just in case we get lost (without reaching the checkouts)!! All for what? To have an apartment furnished like everyone else's (I...), the latest trendy sandals, the nice little dress (M&H), originality and personality! Fortunately, there is a change in consumption patterns; initially very niche (but fortunately brands like C.A. BIO believed in it, present on the market for 5 years already), now accessible to everyone and there's something for all tastes and styles: so we can consume differently with beautiful and organic products, and the best part is with an ethical touch, fair trade certified! Today, we no longer hesitate to assert engaged and responsible consumption...

So how to consume better? First rule, transportation: leave the car in the garage, put on your sneakers and let's go for energy-free spending... Secondly, eat balanced, and organic of course, to avoid chemical indigestion...
Thirdly, dress with a conscience! When it comes to fashion, we're lucky, fashion follows the trend and offers us up-to-date, organic and fair-trade items! Fashionable sneakers, tops that proclaim our commitments, ethical and ethnic accessories, and let's not forget the soft yet trendy underwear, signed Peau-Ethique, of course!!!

I await your suggestions for other rules of good consumption...

The last rule: instead of consuming more, let's consume responsibly...
