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（倫理的，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 （總部設在） 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 （工資） and to provide their workers with good working conditions．If companies follow these requirements，they will receive a Fairtrade certificate （證書） 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（有營養(yǎng)的 ）．
   Ethical clothing
   Some clothing factories have been accused （指責） 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．
