Use Your Money as Your Voting Power


Yes.

That's right.

Whenever you are buying stuff - vegetables, furniture, shampoo, juice, clothe & etc.,
you are voting for the company that produced it,

meaning,

you are supporting the company's corporate decisions

such as

environmental or humanitarian decisions.

Say, you buy 1 lb of Costa Rican coffee beans.

If it does not have a logo that reads:

Fair Trade

it means the foreign corporation that made coffee available to you
actually took advantage of the local people
to increase their profit unfairly to them.

Usually it's done through
cheap labor, cheap sales of their ancestral lands to the foreign big corporation.

So when you are buying non-Fair Trade coffee,
you are an active participant of the company's
exploitation of the local people who make the coffee beans.

Some food products that you may find in Fair Trade:

coffee, tea, chocolate, fruit juice,

Your purchasing power is your voting power.

Every time you are spending money, you are voting for the company and its environmental and human rights policy.

Let's use it wisely and appropriately.

Be more informed.
