I am a hypocrite, because practically everything that I have that was manufactured, has poisoned and contaminated people, land, water, and animals somewhere on this planet. I am a hypocrite because I spend money on those things that are bringing many harm, and I fight to stop those businesses from doing their business in my country. Knowing that it will stop nothing, because they will just take that destruction some place else.
What they are doing is wrong. Me supporting them by buying their products is wrong. I am aware and I try to avoid being duplicitous in this wrong. But I am still guilty and bear some responsibility.
How governments and businesses can claim that they are concerned about this planet and global warming, when they are poisoning almost everything we touch, shows just how much of a lie it all is.
the way i see it, is most people don't really have a choice, and it would be very difficult for those that do not to buy something from some of them seeing how many companies own other brands that your not aware of.
here is just one example of what i'm saying. i do my best not to by anything that says Nestles on it because of the stance they took on right to water. that may have changed not sure but i haven't changed my mind about them. anyway here is a link to companies they own. some of the products i really liked and enjoyed, but i haven't bought any of them in many years.
Everything Owned by Nestlé
i think be the best you can do is to try and be mindful of who owns what, and pick your battles.
