Ethical consumerism is a type of consumer activism based on dollar voting, where consumers favor ethical products or engage in moral boycotts of companies. It can be practiced by buying only necessary items, donating materials to others in need, recycling papers and bottles, and choosing products that are fair trade, organic, or sustainably sourced. Educating children and families on ethical consumption of food, toys and other goods is important to promote these practices in communities.
