One World Week 2011 - Central Events and Central Action ‘Consume With Care’:
How are we connected to the world around us? How do our links - through people, food, money, technology and ideas – affect us, the world we live in and people in the Global South? Are young people active citizens or just consumers who buy first and think later? This year’s One World Week central action ‘Consume with Care’ looks at how we as consumers, have ‘purchasing power’ in what we buy and how we spend our money. Changing our spending habits can positively benefit people, places and production locally and globally.
