sustainable shopping
Environmentally mindful buying
Sustainable shopping is purchasing goods with attention to their environmental and social impact—considering factors like production methods, materials, packaging, and labor conditions.
The term covers practices from buying local produce to choosing products with minimal packaging to supporting companies with ethical supply chains.
I've been trying to do more sustainable shopping, but it's hard to know which labels to trust.
