We all need to buy things from time to time, ...

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.

There are many things we need to know, but we do not learn them at school. For example, if we want to use our money wisely, we need to shop carefully. We need to know how to compare(比较) the prices of things in different shops. We need to be able to compare the quality of different brands (品牌). We need to know how to make sensible choices when we shop.

Knowing how to make such choices is a “life skill”, and we need the skill if we want to lead a useful and happy life.

Some of these choices are small. For example, will I have an apple for lunch or a pear? Will I take a bus to school today or will I walk? Will I wear the red T- shirt or the blue one to go to the movie? Other choices are more important. For example, will I eat healthy food for lunch or will I eat junk food? Will I work hard on all my classes or will I work hard only in the classes I enjoy? We make choices like these every day.

Making wrong choices can cause unhappiness. We have to realize that the choices we make can affect the rest of our life. And our choices can also affect other people. If you decide to waste time in class, play a joke on someone or talk loudly at the movie, consider this: who else does your choice affect?

We all dream about things that we would like to do and things we hope to achieve in the future. But are everybody’s dreams the same? Here are some of the findings of a survey about hopes and dreams, in which thousands of students across China took part.

What are the hopes of teenagers? We received several different answers to the question: what would you like to do after you finish your education? It seems some students would like to start work as soon as they can, so that they can help offer their parents better lives. Other students hope to go on studying after they finish school and to go to university. Although money is important, many teenagers want to do jobs they like. According to the survey, the most popular choice of job is computer programming.

What are the dreams of teenagers? Teenagers have all kinds of dreams. Some are more realistic (现实的) than others. For example, many students would like to be volunteers if Beijing could hold the World Cup, maybe working as translators or tour guides. And many students dream of having a trip to every corner of the world one day.

According to the survey, less realistic dreams are also common, but many students reported that they were willing to work hard to achieve their dreams. Quite a few dreamed of becoming famous, perhaps famous sports people or singers. Some students would like to go on exciting trips. One student would love to sail across the Pacific Ocean. And then there are dreams that there are no possibility for students to achieve. Three students would like to be able to fly.

It is clear from the survey that teenagers have similar hopes. It seems that most students hope to have a good education and find a good job. On the other hand, students dream of very different things: good things, and even crazy things. It is very important to dream, so hold on your dreams, one day they may just be realized.
