Conscious_
This word has been overused and abused by many. People call themselves conscious while they still buy from cheap chain stores, whose clothes and toys are made by Chinese or Indonesian employees that are the same age as their minor children. People still decide to buy packed in plastic separated leaves of salad instead of the whole head of lettuce. People would still spend hundreds $ on crappy quality items instead of buying less more expensive and top quality just because it was 'discounted'. People would still rather support big stores instead of small family owned businesses not knowing that their shoot in the foot their own economy. People would still feed their families processed food instead of cooking balanced and healthy meal.
To be conscious means to be aware, to understand, to have a knowledge. So make sure the next time you will make a purchase check where it is coming from, who made it, what is it made of, where did it come from. If you are able to check the best deals for sushi in your town and the last minute deals in Barcelona you are capable to do all the above. If you cannot afford to support conscious and sustainable businesses buy second hand. And remember demand creates its own supply.
We live on amazing planet with crazy people who make this World a miserable place_
