I must admit the media are very good, they are hammering this coveted day from all angles where everyone (thinks) they will make great deals! They are convincing you that the products you find on sale will be at such a low price that you simply can't do without them.
Tell the truth, are you also waiting for this day to shop? And here I am, I'm that little voice that aims to awaken your wise brain! Yes, that very one that every time you hear the words Black Friday, you shoo away like an annoying fly :-)
But ARE YOU fully aware of what this BLACK day brings? Stop for a moment and bring out your sensitive and intelligent side and reflect without getting caught up in compulsive shopping.
What are the consequences of Black Friday on the environment, on workers, on small producers and artisans who have a shop under your house?
Before buying something you don't really need, ask yourself these questions:
do I really need it?
how many km did it travel to get into my hands?
what irreversible impact did its construction and transportation have on our environment and consequently on our health?
if it breaks, can it be repaired or is it a disposable item?
is it a product that can be infinitely recycled when disposed of, or is it destined to be a polluting waste?
was the person who produced it paid fairly, were their rights to childhood, maternity and their human rights respected, for which we talk so much about by signing online petitions?
Weigh the gratification and positive effect of your purchase against the negative effects it has on the planet and the people who produce it, and then...
REFLECT and THINK
is the suffering our planet, workers, and our health will endure truly worth its purchase?
This Black Friday thing is consumeristic madness!
You know that making CONSCIOUS PURCHASES is the only solution to save ourselves from this frenzy.
Do you want to be part of the real change? Do you want to try?
Watch this video and then decide.
