I couldn't ever understand why every shopper has to feel guilty for their buying power, instead of the responsible being brought to face their deeds. It isn't like no one knows where misery comes from. And it ain't them shoppers.
I've never heard of any initiative to ban the worst dictators from shopping top jewelry brands, say.
No more then they might be denied convenient international banking or what not
But there's no shortage of 'initiative' going for the easy target of guilt-prone buyers.
Quite confusing that the results of such campaigns are usually measured in the market share of some responsible business. Good for them.
Hope there aren't anti-pearl campaigners chaining themselves from a mussel bank
yet!
Phew! Oops... Easy to get me started on this one.
