Affordable
Things we buy have to be affordable financially otherwise we can’t buy them! (But equally if essential items are more than people can afford we need to ask questions – are people being overcharged or are they being underpaid?) However things also need to affordable in terms of cost to the environment. And they need to affordable in terms of a fair price being paid to the producer and other people in the supply chain, and fair taxes being paid
There are schemes such as the fair trade mark and the fair tax mark that can help us make better choices when we’re buying.
