Boycott Everything

Canine

Done.

Now what does the M do that in any way means I have to change anything I do normally.

I've found this thread interesting so far. I suppose part of the reason why it's always going to be controversial is because 'boycotting' is, on the face of it, a negative thing in the sense that one seems to say: 'Most everything is good, but this is bad, therefore boycott.' I try to just follow simple rules, although inevitably I'm not 100% consistent, e.g. mostly shopping locally, trying to deal with smaller businesses in preference to larger ones where possible, and so forth. I find that a more positive set of rules, and it's also a lot easier to follow, because you don't have to remember the status of millions of different things.

All this Brewdog chat and no-one has yet mentioned this nonsense https://www.brewdog.com/blog/join-the-brewdog-chain-gang/

Ecologists eating avocados, quinoa and mangoes in UK

Environmentalists who eat factory farmed animals

Ecologists

You mean Environmentalists?

How do you boycott an ecologist/environmentalist? They don't tend to provide a paid-for service.

(taking the view that "ecologist" just means someone who cares about ecology, not someone who does it for a job:)

All environmentalists ought to be ecologists

You can buy UK (and I think Irish) quinoa fairly easily. I don't, because it's foul wherever it comes from.

The smoked stuff is lovely!

As i find it particularly difficult to know if a company is genuinely good or bad i feel my only real option is consume less. Particularly in terms of the environment.

I try and look less at the hype and more at the actual use and lifespan of a product. I own a car in London so technically i'm a cunt but it's an old Saab from 92 and is still the newest car i've owned. I do my bit to support local/ethical companies but in reality it feels like small batch items are rarely better for the environment in terms of footprint so i still minimise purchases.

But if that's all shit and i'm missing the point please can i throw Morrissey into room 101.

I'd never heard of this chain and I don't understand the name (much though there may not be anything to understand).

Ah, OK, with the 'a' pronounced as 'ay'. I didn't get that. Thanks.
