KNOW YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES                                                                                                                    Back

Ask Yourself!

Have you faced any problems as a consumer?

Have you ever complained when you have had such a problem?

Do you know that you could seek the assistance of a consumer group to protect your interests?


Be Critically Aware

The responsibility to be more alert and to question more – about prices, about quantity and quality of goods bought and services used.


Be Involved

The responsibility to be assertive – to ensure that you get a fair deal as a consumer. Remember, if you are passive, you are likely to be exploited.

Be Organized

The responsibility to join hands and raise voices as consumers; to fight in a collective and to develop the strength and influence to promote and protect consumer interest.


Practice Sustainable Consumption

The responsibility to be aware of the impact of your consumption on other citizens, especially the disadvantaged or powerless groups; and to consume based on needs – not wants.

Be Responsible to the Environment

The responsibility to be aware and to understand the environmental consequences of our consumption. We should recognize our individual and social responsibility to conserve natural resources and protect the earth for future generations.
