Consumption?

and social equality .
3. How can we apply it?
If you decide to buy something, well see what raw material is
manufactured, how its manufacturing process impacts the
environment and if it generates any damage or social
injustice.
Also consider what impact the environment and the social
environment (especially close to you) has the use of what you
plan to buy.
Every time you buy something, you must also consider the
impact caused by waste and garbage generated.
Avoid products "disposable" if they are not strictly necessary.
Rejects plastic bags in supermarkets and leading retailers. If
you can, to do the shopping, bring your own cloth bags,
paper, cardboard or even plastic ones previously used until
they are worn out.
Give priority to products returnable or reusable containers.
