        This list aligns pretty well with mine… It’s easier and more satisfying than you expect to boycott companies like amazon.

          Are you sure? A fair chunk of the internet is run through AWS making avoiding them much harder.

            True. And while I try to, I’m not gonna stop watching twitch because amazon owns it. I won’t however donate through bits but only through direct donations.

            Full boycott is difficult for a lot of shitty companies. But I limit it as mich as possible.

        I rarely buy clothes nowadays but I like to stick to ethical brands. Most of my wardrobe consists of Asket and Patagonia clothing. Buying second-hand is a great option too. I don’t want to judge anyone, I’m just lucky enough to be able to afford clothing that lasts long and save money that way, according to boots theory. I’m doing this for 5+ years now and from my personal judgement, it really pays off.

        Fast fashion isn’t even considered clothing for some peaple. XD Just put your jeans, your t-shirt and your sneakers and go to work, the modern slave outfit.

      I try as much as I can but I find it hard to avoid any car manufacturer and Amazon. I’m trying my best to not go to Amazon and rather to Ebay or microcenter if I can though. As for fast fashion, I am planning to go thrifting or to goodwill.
