Consumer access to complete information about product origins, labor conditions, and environmental impact as a fundamental intellectual and ethical right.
Sor Juana's relentless pursuit of knowledge and her conviction that ignorance perpetuates injustice directly apply to ethical consumption. She believed that understanding the truth—however inconvenient—was essential to moral action. When we consume without knowing a product's origins, labor practices, or environmental costs, we participate in a system of willful ignorance. The right to know what we buy mirrors Sor Juana's insistence that all people deserve access to information necessary for informed decisions. Ethical consumption begins when we demand transparency from corporations and refuse to accept opaque supply chains. This practice honors Sor Juana's legacy by treating knowledge as inseparable from justice, making consumer awareness an act of intellectual and moral integrity.
