Sustainable consumerism is buying local produce that is in season and taking into account goods from "cradle to grave" Globalization is negative because you can get these goods at a lower price across the globe. This lower cost is because they would be fossil fueled over from the other hemisphere. In capitalism, cost is first, foremost, and alone in considersation for anything; goods or whatever considered. Environmental empacts play no bearing on the capitalism idea, unless regulated to be so, which nobody seems to be fond of. I have paid more for organic and fair trade products. It just depends on how more the costs are and how organic or naural it is. I for sure prefer mom and pop stores over any corporate place. Yes, you may be paying higher price but your dollar is well spent. These mom and pop stores or restaurants usually buy local, which means fresher, natural made products!
