The Conscious Consumer
Being a responsible shopper means acting with a conscience (ضمير). When companies fail to meet ethical standards, consumers might organize a boycott (مقاطعة).
| The consumer with a conscience supports the boycott of these companies. | المستهلك ذو الضمير يدعم مقاطعة هذه الشركات.al-mustahliku dhu ad-damiri yadamu muqataata hadhihi sh-sharikat |
Ethical Trade and Production
Many shoppers look for cosmetics (تجميل) that are free from (خالي) cruelty (قسوة).
| The best cosmetics are free from cruelty. | أفضل منتجات التجميل خالية من القسوة.afdalu muntajâti t-tajmîli khâliyatun mina l-qaswah |
Fair trade requires integrity (نزاهة) and ensuring workers receive a fair (منصف) price.
| Integrity in trade is to pay a fair price to the workers. | النزاهة في التجارة هي أن تدفع سعرا منصفا للعمال.an-nazâhatu fi t-tijârati hiya an tadfa'a si'ran munsifan lil-'ummâli. |
Eco-Friendly Packaging and Resources
A common sustainable choice is paper-based (ورقي) packaging, which can naturally decompose (تحلل) in the soil.
| The paper bag decomposes quickly in the soil. | الكيس الورقي يتحلل بسرعة في التربة.al-kîs al-waraqî yatahallal bisur'a fî at-turba |
Environmentally friendly choices help prevent the depletion (استنزاف) of natural resources.
| The depletion of natural resources bothers every person with a conscience. | استنزاف الموارد الطبيعية يزعج كل شخص ذي ضمير.istinzâfu al-mawâridi at-tabîiyyati yuziju kulla shakhsin dhî damîrin |
Hypothetical Conditionals
When discussing the hypothetical impact of consumer habits, use the conditional structure لو (if). Attach the prefix لـ to the verb in the result clause to mean "then" or "would have."
| If the price were fair, the market would be free from injustice. | لو كان السعر منصفا، لكان السوق خاليا من الظلم.law kâna as-si'ru munsifan, lakâna as-sûqu khâliyan mina az-zulmi |
| If we had used paper packaging, we would have reduced the depletion of resources. | لو استخدمنا التغليف الورقي، لقللنا من استنزاف الموارد.lawi stakhdamnâ at-taghlîfa l-waraqiyya, laqallalnâ mini stinzâfi l-mawâridi |
