Have a question?
Many visitors have questioned us about why sustainable products tend to be expensive. We understand this concern and want to address it. The pricing of sustainable products is often influenced by various factors. First, sustainable production practices typically involve higher costs compared to conventional methods. These practices prioritize ethical sourcing, fair wages for workers, environmentally-friendly materials, and responsible manufacturing processes. These factors contribute to the overall cost of producing sustainable products. Additionally, economies of scale play a role. Sustainable products often have a smaller market share compared to mass-produced alternatives, which can lead to higher production costs due to limited production volumes. However, at our company, we are committed to making sustainable choices more affordable and accessible to all individuals. We offer discount codes on our website, allowing customers to select a code based on their spending capacity. This way, we aim to bridge the gap and make sustainable products more affordable for those with lower incomes. To take advantage of this opportunity, simply visit our website at www.thesecondlife.co. Choose your preferred products and add them to your cart. During checkout, select the discount code that corresponds to your spending capacity. |
Currently, this offer is available only in India, as we are working on expanding our international shipping options. The discount ranges from 05% to 60%. Please use the code "PEOPLEPLANET(discount%)" when applying the discount. For example, PEOPLEPLANET05 for 5% discount. We trust our customers to use the discount codes responsibly and select the appropriate code based on their genuine spending capacity. We value transparency and fairness, so we kindly ask that you refrain from misusing the discount codes. We encourage you to give it a try and share this opportunity with your friends, colleagues, and household members.
