    Honestly most times it just takes a little research. If a boycott is worth doing, its worth putting in the effort to do it right.

      On the flip side, anything worth doing is worth doing imperfectly.

      100% of the population boycotting at 50% efficacy is much better than 1% of the population doing it PERFECTLY.

      Never ever ever alienate or talk down to (or about) people who are acting in a way that is directionally correct, even if it doesn’t meet your personal standard.

        Agreed. We’re all just trying to do our best. I appreciate the education, but all-or-nothing thinking leads to people just giving up completely.

        There are still some things I’m struggling to find acceptable replacements for, but I’m trying ❤️
