An eco-friendly purchase is possible today

Organic products are already in supermarkets: consume consciously

It is increasingly common to find organic products on supermarket shelves. And that is, without a doubt, good news. Thanks to growing demand and greater social awareness, today we can access an ever-wider range of environmentally friendly foods and products… with a price difference that is becoming smaller and smaller.

A personal choice with a collective impact

It is true that choosing organic products may require a small economic or logistical effort, but the satisfaction of contributing to a fairer and more sustainable consumption model is immense. Conscious consumption not only benefits the planet: it also improves our health and supports those who work the land in a respectful way.

The conventional production model prioritizes quantity, low prices and speed, at the expense of quality, sustainability and the dignity of producers. We are losing humanity in the consumption chain. But there is an alternative.

Your consumption moves the world

Fortunately, society is waking up. Every purchase is a political act, and every choice influences the economy, the environment and the lives of other people. It is no longer just about filling your shopping cart, but about doing so consciously.

In large retail chains such as Carrefour or Alcampo, it is now possible to find specific aisles for organic products or many items distributed across different sections. But there are also other, closer and more committed options.

Supporting local producers: a commitment to fairness

Initiatives such as Mercatrémol and La Bastida, in Alicante, allow families to access fresh, organic and seasonal products directly from farmers, without intermediaries. This not only guarantees quality food, but also enables small producers to receive a fair price for their work. With just a couple of dozen collaborating families, a farmer can make a decent living from their land.

You can also visit specialized supermarkets such as Super Sano, in the center of Alicante, where you will find a wide range of organic products beyond fruit and vegetables.

Much more than food: organic products for your home

In addition to food, you can also find eco-friendly alternatives for your home:

• Cleaning: detergents, floor cleaners, ceramic hob cleaners, descalers, dishwashing liquid, dishwasher tablets…

• Home and office: bamboo hangers, recycled garbage bags, staplers and eco-friendly stationery.

• Personal care: body wash, organic cotton underwear and fair-trade products.

• Food: juices, jams, cereals, cookies, yogurts, coffee, tea, cheese, cured meats, pizzas, bread, meat, milk, nuts, chocolates and even organic nougat.

Start with what you can… and keep growing

You don’t need to change everything at once. You can start by incorporating a few organic products into your daily life—those that best fit your budget or habits. Over time, you’ll see that it’s possible to gradually expand your commitment… and the planet will thank you.
