Pause And Read
Whether it's an apple, a pair of shoes, or a pen, every product you buy has a unique story.
It tells where it came from, who made it, and how it was created.
The label on the product speaks for itself. It reveals the story of the place where the materials were sourced, the person who crafted it, and her or his working conditions. That person could be you, your brother, your mother...
When you purchase a product, you give value to the effort, time, love, and dedication they've put into it . (Or not, if they worked in miserable conditions).
Just as we cherish our efforts being recognized, we should also appreciate the labor of others.
Buying things or food that we don't need, only to throw them away and waste them, doesn’t help.
The label on the product is there for a reason – to tell you a story. Although it may not always be easy to decode, it can be fascinating to learn more about your purchase.
Curiosity is key!
Understanding the stories behind each purchase can empower you. It can help you make more conscious decisions. You don't want to buy products that harm the environment.
Even if it's not your immediate surroundings, it could be someone else's.
