FOMCA's National Consumer Campaign 2008-2012 had hit UTP in gosh, I don't know how long has passed, but I just had to post it up. Personally in these times of economical crisis ( I assume there's a problem cause everyone is talking about how there's an economical crisis nowadays or something) the only two things that affect me are the price of gas and a pack of smokes. But things are looking pretty bleak in the future what with all the climate problems, food prices sky-rocketing, water shortage, people being layed-off of work and little new jobs opening up over the years. Things are looking pretty bad for us, especially those of us who're still studying.
So, worried as the government is, they decided to send here a few important messages to all you out there.
Mindful consumptions include:
-Planning one's purchases
-Budgeting and sticking to one's budget
-Using public transport
-Eating more fruits and vegetables instead of processed foods
-Switching to generic brands
-Reducing luxuries and impulse buying
-Optimize water and energy use
-Growing one's own vegetables
Well, there you go. Pretty boring stuff that you'll go on and say "Dude, I already know that, you've wasted ten minutes of your life writing this piece of crap,". Yeah, well we wouldn't be having a financial problem today if we did follow these simple rules(that, and I was pretty much forced to do this thread). I mean think about it, as citizens, pretty much everybody blames the government once gas rises up by a few cents, when in actuality, we created this predicament ourselves through the science of demand and supply. So if you're like me and you want those smokes cheap, you best start changing your spending lifestyle.
