You might see this as overblown and outrageous but to me it's not that terrible to give up your Doritos and Abercrombie and pick up some granola or vegetable chips and organically grown cotton/hemp clothing. The fact is that we need to put our money where our mouth is and it starts with these basics: Food, Water, Energy, living, and luxury. We can make change ourselves by changing ourselves.
BOYCOTT THESE COMPANIES/PRODUCTS (AND ANY OTHER THAT FIT THE BILL) AND NEVER GIVE THEM ANOTHER DIME OF YOUR MONEY UNLESS YOU WANT TO PERPETUATE THE PROBLEM.
