Form 8 (2015)How to Be a Responsible Shopper

How to Be a Responsible Shopper

In today`s world of endless consumer choices, it`s very easy to spend without thinking. Many people enjoy bargain-hunting, but our quest to pay less may have hidden dangers. Being a responsible shopper means to combine an awareness of human rights and green issues, as well as  knowledge how to save our hard-earned cash.

First of all, you should be ethical. You should always choose products labelled “fairtrade”, which is a guarantee the goods have been made under acceptable working conditions.  It means that you can be sure that workers  were not in sweatshops and child labour was not used.

Furthermore, be green. It`s a good idea to choose products  that use fewer natural resources, and avoid goods which come in unnecessary packaging. The goal is not to waste anything. Another great option is buying second-hand. You can find a treasure trove of quality second-hand items which are often much better than cheaply made products for sale at similar prices. Then, of course, buy products that can be recycled. Also, try to recycle your belongings yourself.

Finally, be smart. You should spend your money wisely. It involves some thought and research as well.  Always be clear about what you want to buy to avoid unnecessary purchases. Then, compare prices and take advantage of seasonal retail shifts, when they sell products off at reduced prices.

Lastly, remember the goal of being a responsible shopper. It is not just about trying to spend as little as possible. It is to find a good balance between being ethical, being green and using good money sense.

8 Form (2015)Growing Up

Growing Up

According to UN statistics, by the year 2050, the population of planet Earth will have risen to over 9 billion and feeding all these people will require extra farmland the size of Brazil. The scientists offer the idea of vertical farming.

Vertical farms are a good idea because they don`t take up as much space as traditional farms. That is why, they may be a solution to growing enough food for an increasing population with a lack of farmland. They can be built in cities to allow people to have access to local produce and therefore reduce transport costs. This idea is also environmentally friendly as the farmswill be powered by solar, wind energy and will grow a variety of fruit and vegetables in a solution of nutrients and water. The walls will be made of glass to allow in sunlight. The scientists point out that just one 30-storey building would provide food for 10 000 people.

However, the idea isn`t without its problems. Crops nearer the glass would get more light. That means they would grow quicker than crops farther away. Possible solutions include having a permanent light source on every floor like the ones we now have in industrial greenhouses.

All in all, mankind remembers the stories of The Hanging Gardens of Babylon. There were the structures with lush green gardens on different levels many metres high. These are long gone, but the situation in our modern consumer society isn`t good enough. The population rises and food prices soar. So,it`s a good idea to let a modern-day equivalent of these gardens spring up.
