My thoughts on Consumerium. If you have comments on them, please use the talk page, and don't comment inline.
1) This is a gigantically important and very cool idea. Many many people are willing to become moral consumers if they had the information available. This could be useful in a bunch of ways.
2) I don't want to carry or wear any sort of device with me to the supermarket or any other store. I don't want to pick up a device when I'm at the store (though maybe a book). I don't want to scan barcodes. I doubt many other people want these things either.
