Every now and then, we all need to go shopping and purchase stuff, but have we ever thought about the beneficial and negative effects of our purchasing habits on the environment and society? Why is ethical buying important to us?

• It benefits the environment since many businesses and brands are responsible for a variety of environmental problems, such as deforestation and global warming, which can be partially addressed by engaging in more ethical buying.
• It benefits society because so many businesses neglect their workers and contribute to many social problems. These concerns range from worker rights to child labor to corporate lobbying and tax avoidance. By avoiding these brands when you shop ethically, you may contribute to resolving these problems.
• It is beneficial for animal welfare – Choosing ethically can also help to improve conditions for animals. For instance, you can assure that no animals are harmed in the making of your cosmetics by purchasing them from companies that don’t test on them.

We actually change the world when we shop responsibly! Both you and your attitude about it are positive. You’ll fit in with the cool kids! But how can you be the cool kid? I am only a girl who enjoys comfort accessories. Since I can’t afford to spend a lot of money on my luxury brands, I typically buy things that are actually useful to me. Therefore, I always consider the following factors when I make a purchase for myself: I’ll post them here as well, so I anticipate that young people who enjoy luxury products would find them useful.

1.Buy eco-friendly

Invest in environmentally friendly products by looking for goods made of more sustainable resources.

2.Buy Second-hand

It’s a terrific way to conserve money and the environment by buying used items. You may find many secondhand shops, thrift stores, and vintage shops in Myanmar where you can purchase lovely used goods.

3.Buy less

Reduce the quantity of useless items you purchase each month by buying less. It also reduces trash production and the carbon footprint while saving money. Purchase durable goods so you may use them for a long time, promote sustainability, and lessen environmental impact.

4.Buy local

Buying locally keeps more money in the local economy rather than going to the stockholders of global high-end brands. Boycott the terrible corporations because they are not worth our money to support. Many brands and businesses care little about their bottom line and the environment.

5.Recycle when possible

When you can, recycle; don’t throw things away simply because they are no longer usable. We cool kids fix things, recycle them, get creative, and reuse them. Do your homework before you buy. Find out where and how these businesses manufacture their goods, as well as how they track their progress toward sustainability.

6.Follow the trend, but don’t get obsessed on it

As new designs are being produced every day, it is important to keep up with the trend but avoid becoming obsessed with it. So purchase items that are appropriate for you and fit your style.

Now that you’ve seen the power of your wallet, you know that it can both encourage other businesses and brands to behave more ethically while already doing good deeds for society and the environment. Why not use your money to change the world? Change starts with you.
