Can you say farewell to supermarkets<\/strong>, lines and shopping carts, fidelity cards and leaflets? Yes, you can, and with a better quality of life.<\/p>\n

It takes time and effort, but it is worth it. You are not alone in this journey as you can follow some well-defined steps. You can count on supporting organizations such as ethical purchasing groups<\/strong> (more info about the network here<\/a>, link in Italian), small neighborhood stores where you find loose products, ethical online shops and the coming back of self-production.<\/p>\n

An interesting experience in Italy is Camilla Food Coop<\/em>\u00a0in Bologna<\/strong>, inspired by European BEES Coop and Park Slope in New York, a sort of cooperative shopping centers, participated and no profit, alternative to large-scale retail trade.<\/p>\n

\"Say<\/p>\n

The first thing to do, as usual, is to change yourself and your mindset<\/strong>. You have to be informe<\/strong>d and become more aware of the consequences of your actions, in particular such an automatic and common one like buying.<\/p>\n

You have to think about your choices and raise the level of attention. Once you have done this, the next steps will come naturally: you realize that most of your purchases are not necessary but generated by marketing and advertisement and you will reduce your consumptions.<\/p>\n

You will prefer local producers<\/strong>; you will meet them and understand their work and their production processes, giving more importance to quality than quantity and to the products effect on the environment<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In a world that is going towards individualism and consumerism, you will appreciate community<\/strong>, being a part of a human social network, supporting an ethical purchasing group and discovering that it is useful, satisfying and, why not, also fun.<\/p>\n

\"Say<\/p>\n

Something slowly seems to change in Italy<\/strong>, as well. It is proved by some studies (i.e. the Sinab study, link in Italian, about the development of biological productions in 2016, ) or the growth of events where to discuss and analyze these themes (i.e. \u201cDo the right thing<\/strong><\/a>\u201d, link in Italian, a fair on critical consuming<\/strong> and sustainable ways of life, in Milan<\/strong> from the 23rd to 25th of march, free entry). Today you can find opportunities, good practices and examples to follow; it is now the time to live this change with a lead role, dynamic and well informed.<\/p>\n
