:Exact quote from above reads "any ecologically | |||
destructive product could be identified | |||
on a store shelf or a friend's refrigerator | |||
or whatever. Bar code readers are down | |||
to a small size these days and can be | |||
worn just like a ring! | |||
Imagine the impact if a woman goes on | |||
a date to a guy's apartment, runs her | |||
innocuous-looking ring past his | |||
groceries, and then leaves early saying | |||
"Sorry man but you're just too ignorant | |||
to date - half the stuff on your shelf is | |||
killing people and the other half is | |||
killing Great Apes. Later." | |||
:A bar code reader reads UPC or EAN codes, the ring-size reader can be run on anything in the cupboards or shelf, and clearly the woman is leaving because of this information. So this is exactly what I said. | |||
UPC is a little USA-centric. GTIN is much more universal (it includes both UPC and EAN spaces, which covers a big part of the worlds buying power) | UPC is a little USA-centric.

:OK, [[GTIN]] it is then from now on. | |||

:Thanks. There is actually very good background on wikipedia about this issue. But also there is good background on Greenpeace, including a link you removed from 'features' that describes *exactly* how to use a system just like this one (consumerium), very effectively. Also cross-participation with NGO boards is important. So you could put it as a reference, but I don't agree that link is unnecessary, and I also think that coordination with [[w:bushmeat]] campaigns to prevent [[w:ape genocide]] is probably the single greatest place this project could have impact: | :Thanks.
