We are living in a world where we are bombarded by signs, pop-ups and adverts trying to sell us something. Convincing us that our wants are actually our needs and that our life will be better with the newest technology, latest fashion pieces, organic facial crea ms, money-making training, and the list goes on. Being consumers is a part of our everyday life. We are lucky to have choices but how do we ensure that as consumers we are making the right choices? Do you ever wonder what impact you can have as a consumer? Do you know your rights as a consumer?
