We feel pretty people care for the environment and consumers (or at least we like to think so) and still wanting in Italy you can do: can be an environmentalist-nonconsumista-mangiatoredibiologico-
attentoaimarchiequiesolidali ....
here we were a bit 'crippled. Obviously, our origins and our ability to feed ourselves lead us more or less at home and thus to supply us in large malls and supermarkets in the capital where you will find almost everything that a western can serve. The problem that we face however is the choice responsible for the product, unfortunately, as regards the choice of brand variety is quite small in fact as we all imagine the supermarket shelves are crammed with African Nestle products but not all ... in fact the alternative to these marks are the products that South Africans have virtually the monopoly of everything that is not European or American.
European brand products (including Italian) often are inventories of stocked shelves of supermarkets where you daily and you can see from the very tight deadlines and the color of packages: often faded and worn. The rest is "proudly South African" as is highlighted on the packaging. This applies to food, appliances, clothing etc.. the situation is different with regard to purchases at the market where in addition to local products (fruits and vegetables) everything else is Chinese (toys, clothing, radio, new or used appliances, shoes ...).
A brand anywhere in the world we are facing is Bata (shoes), is in every major city and even in Sri Lanka we remember that the shoes were commonly called Bata ("I need a pair of bata", "beautiful your new bata ") ... had a local name, or better, but they were not used! The same applies here for Pampers disposable diapers, Only in rare cases, the diaper is called webs, more often they say "change the pampers the child", "your child wears Pampers?" (as a generic diaper, in fact here sometimes use the diapers or do not use them at all ).
As for good environmental practices in our daily life had entered the collection here ... unfortunately we are forgetting the fact the elimination of waste in most cases is this: are collected in sacks, you throw the bag in a hole deep enough in the garden, occasionally sets fire and it burns everything (including plastic!) So apart from the countless environmental damage I do not say that you breathe in the smell when someone burns around their waste.
Unfortunately there is still also an education environment which bring people to pay attention to where to throw litter and waste large and small every day. Straws, plastic and glass bottles, bags, caps, food packaging ... everything 'is that a hand is thrown to the ground. For us now it is a gesture unthinkable and we shudder every time when we are around and then I carry the waste of the day almost always in your pocket for 12-24 hours until they find a garbage, not always easy to find! But it must be said that a school send out the message of attention to maintaining clean sin then there are no rubbish bins.
Well in short, the good will of our pseudo environmentalists - pseudo acquistoprodottisolo responsible etc. is making room for a minimum essential attention ... hopefully not to lower our guard too!
ps

Gal, Lina, and Chicken ... The three hens and a chicken as you can see from the names ... so far have given us two eggs!
