Followed and upvoted. It is so important to do what we can to get our needs met from the best source we can, which of course varies a lot based on locale and income and the like. Certain things there aren't really "ethical alternatives" for (like electronics), and people seem to think it's all or nothing ("oh i see you have x brand computer! What about (their labor practices, the rare earth issue, etc.)?? You're a hypocrite!"), but it's not. No major change came about in one fell swoop, and nobody passed some impossible purity test to get it done (I spoke about this very thing in a recent essay of mine, called On Solidarity And Compassion, which is on my Steemit). Simply put, we live inside a system and we still have to survive in it. But we CAN do SOMETHING, in your particular focus perhaps that's shopping at farmer's markets, maybe it's buying soap from a home crafter on Etsy, maybe it's finding gifts at holiday craft fair markets, maybe it's reasearching companies before you buy, maybe it's buying co-op owned and fair trade. There are a million potential little steps, and once you start taking them, you take more, and perhaps influence others to start. Change tends to start small and seem impossible, like climbing a mountain, but eventually you hit that peak and rolling downhill goes REALLY fast after that. ;)
