Good Deal is a local movement in some countries.

It works to help farmers and workers in less developed areas receive a better deal for their produce. Good Deal products may be a little more expensive than regular products, but up to one‑third of the sale price will be given back to the producers. This is more than they could get under the conventional trading system.

The movement has proven popular among young people, and they want to help producers get the payment they deserve. They have no problem spending a bit more on Good Deal products, believing that their purchasing of these products will help improve local people’s welfare.

However, some people are less optimistic, and argue that it discriminates against producers not part of the Good Deal movement.

It is a superior, smooth blend with mild flavour, which has less than one calorie per cup.

Non‑cash Payments

Nowadays, non‑cash payments are gaining wide popularity. Instead of paying in cash, more people choose cards, mobile phones and other electronic devices to complete their trade.

Non‑cash payments bring great convenience to our daily life. It only takes a blink of the eye to finish a payment. We no longer need to carry heavy coins or worry about losing wallets. Besides, electronic payments can avoid germs on paper money.

However, non‑cash payments are not perfect. To begin with, phones and computers can be hacked or stolen, which puts our money at risk. Worse still, easy electronic payments may lead to over‑consumption. What is more, non‑cash payments rely heavily on the Internet and power. Once your phone battery dies or you have no network, you cannot pay. Last but not least, the elderly who are unfamiliar with digital devices may feel excluded.

In conclusion, non‑cash payments are helpful yet problematic. We should make good use of its convenience. At the same time, we should reduce the use of cash rather than replace it for good.
