Selfish: putting your own needs above the needs of others.

When you buy cheap clothes, you are putting your own needs above the needs of the sweatshop workers.

When you buy cheap bananas, coffee or chocolate, you are putting your own needs above the needs of the farmers who grew them.

When you buy factory farmed meat, you are putting your own needs above the needs of animals.

When you buy chemically farmed vegetables, you are putting your own needs above the needs of the soil and wildlife (we’ve all heard about the plight of honeybees).

When you buy cheap furniture, you are putting your own needs above forest ecosystems, including plants, animals and even people who depend on the forests to live.

Can you honestly say you are never selfish?
