Fast fashion companies
I buy on Amazon only if I got some gift card (because im broke af and those are free money) but never with the fast shipment
Fast foods, Starbucks and similar
Delivery companies like Uber eats or Glovo
Meat
I don’t buy not-reusable products (like toothbrushes, razors, cotton) with a few exceptions, where I can I buy the eco or tech versions
Meat?!
Yes. I don't boycott it myself, because I fucking love meat, but we need to finda way to make it more sustainable and less cruel to animals. (Not the murdering part, of course, but how we treat them beforehand.)
I fully understand why somebody boycotts it.
Yeah, that would be awesome, but it would be against the principles of capitalism- profit over sustainability, so probably it won't happen soon.
Yep! You have to actually boycott it if you want anything to change.
I wonder if meat eaters think vegetarians don't like meat? I loved eating meat, I hanker for burgers and steaks as much as the next man. I grew up on a farm, I'm not some bleeding heart. But I figured I gotta put my money where my mouth is, I couldnt say I was an environmentalist and not do the one biggest thing an individual can.
Yeah I don’t know if it counts as a boycott, I’m vegetarian but I don’t buy meat for our family also, my husband eat meat only when someone gift him (we are in a rural area so it happens)
Never met a vegetarian?
Not really, no.
