Active Awareness

In order to affect change we have learned that we must increase our awareness, but this is not enough we then have the obligation to act upon our knowledge to help others and ourselves. There are many ways we can be active, we can join organization that are fighting for a just cause like NGO's and add our voice to many others which gives more power. Another way we can actively be involved is through our consumer choices. If for example we choose not to purchase items that have been made where people were receiving low wages, or work in terrible or even dangerous conditions, or where basic human rights are being denied; then we can change these conditions for these people simply by choosing a different item to purchase. Decisions like these ultimately lead to major business decisions which can be beneficial to both humans and the environment.
