The consumption of products generates garbage, since each product comes with its own
packaging, in addition, perhaps the purchase of a new product generates the waste of the
previous one, therefore it is interesting to ask how many products do we buy daily? How much
garbage does an individual generate per day?

Responsible consumption is a way to supply really basic needs in an intelligent way in which
both companies and society win.

It is about becoming responsible consumers, both with the economy and the environment,
which would significantly reduce the impact generated by ourselves.

That is why a culture of smart and responsible social sourcing is required, as well as a culture
of recycling and reusing products.
