Instructions to introduce the topic and deliver the video/presentation/micro resource
Begin by asking the audience: "Have you ever thought about the impact of your daily purchases on the environment?" or "What does 'ethical consumption' mean to you?" Explain that the session will explore how our buying choices affect the planet and how we can make a positive difference. Highlight the idea of "Taking care of the Planet with every purchase!".
Present the "Ethical consumption" micro-resource (video/presentation). Pause at key points to encourage discussion, such as after explaining the "3 R's" or the benefits of supporting local businesses.
After the presentation, open the floor for questions and discussion. Encourage participants to share their own experiences or ideas related to eco-friendly consumption. Reinforce the message that "Every small choice creates a big wave of change!". Conclude by empowering the audience with the call to action: "Start today! Make a difference. The planet thanks you!".
