题目内容

We all need to buy things from time to time, but do we think about how our shopping affects people, animals and the environment? Here's how you can take better care of the world we live in while you shop.

Ethical ( 伦理的, 道德的 ) shopping

We all need to eat, drink and wear clothes. But what do we know about the products that we buy in shops, in supermarkets or online? Many people in Britain want to know more about the products they buy. They want to know how people, animals and our planet (地球) are treated when food, drinks and clothes are produced.

Fair trade

The Fairtrade Foundation is based (总部设在) in the UK and helps farmers and workers in poorer parts of the world make more money. The organization asks companies that grow products such as coffee or bananas to pay for wages (工资) and to provide their workers with good working conditions. If companies follow these requirements, they will receive a Fairtrade certificate (证书) and can sell their products with the "Fairtrade" mark. About 5 million people in 58 countries benefit from Fairtrade's practices.

Free range

On free range farms, farm animals spend time outside instead of being inside 24 hours a day. Meat, eggs or dairy products, such as milk or cheese, can be free range. Some experts say that this type of farming is preferable because it is very kind and the animals are healthier. Many people also think that free range food tastes better and is more nutritious ( 有营养的 ).

Ethical clothing

Some clothing factories have been accused (指责) of having children as workers and of allowing unsafe conditions in their factories. People nowadays are becoming more interested in where their clothes are made, who they are made by and in what conditions. They want their clothes to look good and be ethical. Most fashion manufacturers (制造商) have information about their workers and their environmental policies (政策) on their websites. With the help of organizations like Fairtrade, shoppers can make more choices about the products they buy.

If a friend helps us, it’s a good idea to write him a thank-you note. But in fact, how many of us sit down to do this? “People don’ t seem to walk around giving thanks to people quite often,” Professor Kumar said. Why don’t people like to send thank-you notes? And how do people feel when they get one?

Kumar and his team asked some students to write a thank-you note to another person by email. Then, they asked both the writer and the receiver how sending or getting these notes made them feel. Here is the result.

They found that these writers didn’t like to write the notes because they felt like they had to think too much about them. They worried about what to say and how to say it. The receivers, however felt enjoyable when they got the notes. When you are a receiver, you really care about the warmth of the note, “Kumar says. “How friendly and warm was it?”

Also, the writers didn’t like to write the notes because they thought it might be awkward (尴尬的) for the receiver to get a thank-you note. But in fact, it’s not true. “They feel quite happy,” Kumar says. “They don’t really feel awkward at all.” If people knew that writing a thank-you note could be so important to others, they would do it more often, Kumar says.

In a word, simple and small changes in our everyday lives can make a big difference in how we treat (对待) other people and how we feel.
