Making informed purchases is a key element of sustainable development. Buy only what you need. Choose ecological products. Support local manufacturers. It’s easier than you think! What this means:

●   Do you purchase products made from recycled and recyclable materials, products which are reusable or are guaranteed to last a long time?
●   Do you purchase goods which are locally-made (preferably with low emissions)?
●   Do you avoid products with excessive packaging (you can opt for products without packaging or packed in bulk instead of individual packaging)?
●   Do you choose products which have an environmental or social responsibility certificate, such as fair trade or carbon dioxide neutrality?
