 Information about the products' [[Features|environmental impact]], workers' conditions, the producer's [[Features|social conscience]] - or lack thereof, all this has to be available at your fingertips. [[Features|Which company]] made the product you are considering to buy, and [[Features|who owns the company]]?
-If you don't like the product or the company, don't buy it - but you could send some [[Features|feedback]] to the producer. Tell them why you don't like the company or product, maybe the heap of mails flooding into the PR offices takes some effect. Is there somebody hiding behind the seemingly local and small brand, maybe a multinational giant who exploits workers in poor countries and purchases raw materials from wherever and whoever supplies them at the lowest price, not caring about eg. for the human rights situation in the country they are produced in?

 Has somebody [[Features|initiated a boycott]] on the company and if so, who might these people be who dare to uphold that you are a bad consumer, even a bad human being in case you decide to buy this product? Even if you don't deem consumption decisions a serious means of civil activism, you may be interested in what other consumers think about this new washing powder. Have a look on what comments they have published on the product you want to try. Maybe the most essential thing is to find out how to use these expensive sun-dried tomatoes in order to make your food taste better.
