Ethical Shopping

We should know what we really buy in supermarkets or shops. Britain people have doubts about how people produce the clothes and food. Fairtrade is in 58 countries, based in the UK and helps poor farmers and workers to live better. They ask companies to give workers good conditions, and then they can sell products with a label that says fair trade. Some of the products are coffee, tea and bananas. Farm animals are outside instead of inside all day. The products are: meat, eggs or dairy products. This system is less cruel and the animals are healthier. The food tastes better and is more nutritious, also no chemical fertilizers and pesticides are used. Organic food is more expensive but it is very popular in the UK. Fashion is a business. Some manufacturers were accused of employing children and not providing safe conditions for the workers. Many companies started to give money to pay for factory inspections to improve workers conditions. Nowadays people say ‘vintage’ or ‘pre-loved’ to used clothes and they are popular in the UK. Celebrities are big fans of vintage clothes. Another way to recycle is to adapt the clothes you have. With the help of organizations, shoppers can make more choices.
