Critical analysis: Making a difference: ethical consumption and everyday
Introduction
Currently, the need to organize the economy with justice and respect for the man, and nature resources is no longer a matter of moral or political opinion, is a vital imperative that requires us all do our part. Institutions need to fulfill their missions and we must demand it, but do not forget that we have at our disposal a means of intervention that can have a direct influence on the centers of economic power. This possibility does not derive from individual rights guaranteed by law but the will to live responsibly in everyday life such as work, saving and especially consumption.

First search for information and training of critical thinking with the reality that surrounds us, with the media and advertising issues to be behind everything we eat and what are its consequences
Second, reducing our consumption levels as an ethical option. If our model of development is not universalizable or environmentally, or by unjust structures that it generates, it is not possible to maintain this situation. It is about changing our consumption habits, opting for a model of welfare and happiness not based on material possessions. "It's just has the most happy but who needs the least."
