What exactly is "selling expired products"? It's about whether to inform the seller of a hidden defect or not. If you report the defect — you get one outcome, if you don’t — you get another. And that one is more beneficial. Unfortunately, this principle applies not only to the sale of spoiled goods.
In school, a student claims they forgot their homework notebook at home. In university, a student copies answers from a cheat sheet during an exam. A car owner rolls back the odometer to sell their "baby" faster. This pattern is everywhere.
"Expired" is not a choice between writing off outdated goods and quietly selling them. It's about what matters more to us: achieving a lesser result but remaining an honest person, or deceiving others for greater gain? Expired products on store shelves are merely the visible manifestation of a deeper issue of expired thinking.

On November 30th in Almaty, Жаңа адамдар invites everyone who refuses to accept expired thinking to the event "No to Expired Goods!".
If you have encountered the problem of expiration yourself — prepare an exposing poster with the name and address of the store. Alternatively, share a personal "expired" story — a situation where you acted dishonestly or concealed something for personal gain.
Expired products will only disappear from our store shelves when every resident of Kazakhstan declares: "My dignity is worth more than the profit from deceit. My integrity is far more valuable than the earnings gained through lies and deception".
November 30th. Жаңа адамдар campus at 7 Kokinaki Street. Join us if you are ready to be honest with yourself and your country!
