Our daily routine is composed of a multitude of small tasks and habits, to which we usually don’t pay much attention. Instead, our everyday life is driven by various consumer choices and culturally-conditioned patterns of behaviour. We can fulfil our needs for food, clothes, hygiene, well-being and entertainment in diverse ways. Generally, our criteria for making these choices are just comfort, taste and our ability to pay. How often do we ask ourselves about the origin of the things we buy and about the habits in which we indulge? What is the price of our pleasure?
