The creator of the wonderful, environmentally-friendly Dr. Bronner Castile Soap products, was a Jewish man who escaped from Hi*ler's Germany. His company today is committed to helping the Palestinian victims of the Israeli genocide and apartheid.

"Triodos Bank launched a renewed energy vision today, including its approach to financing the energy transition. The bank prioritises financing of energy storage, local electricity grids, energy efficiency and circular supply chains, while maintaining exclusions for the fossil fuel industry, nuclear power and non-green hydrogen". An ethical green bank, I recommend them.

I have been using INEOS cleaning materials for some time and quite like them.
After Radcliffe's comments I will not be buying them again, obviously.
Suma Coop have a good plant-based range. I have switched to them.

Apparently MUD Jeans these days (since 2016) has nothing to do with the old company. All the #jeans are made from post-consumer #recycled material or organically farmed cotton. It's not a worker-owned cooperative, but at least it's a B Corporation. They claim to be trying but seems like it's still pretty bad working conditions for production.
Anyway, that's the best I could do without wearing myself out on research. Buying jeans is always stressful af.

Included in our weekly shop were these sample packets of Lenor Spring Awakening. I didn't ask for them & I don't want them but #Tesco have very kindly made it my responsibility to dispose of these nightmare products.
So I read the datasheet...
https://www.careshop.co.uk/img/cms/DC87406.pdf
But this seems to say that it is dangerous to aquatic life (section 3.2) and isn't (section 12.1).
How should I be reading this?
And so what do I do with them?

Seventeen values-based banks support treaty to end use of fossil fuels. I knew about ethical banks like Triodos (who I really recommend) but didn't know about the Global Alliance for Banking on Values which sounds interesting.

If you want to understand why people choose products that are bad for them, die the environment and are expensive as well, maybe just look at the dish washer tablets.
They take control away from you. They force you to use the same, manufacturer-selected amount of detergent every time, even if your dish washer is half empty and the dishes are almost clean. They also contain a prescribed amount of descaling agent, no matter the composition of the local drinking water.
They are also individually packed into little plastic sachets which tend to be a pain to open, or - if labelled “water-soluble” - they clog up your dishwasher because in effect, they’re not water soluble.
And they are significantly more expensive both per gram or per machine load than normal powder plus descaling agent powder.From a consumer’s standpoint, there is not a single reason for dish washer tablets.
Yet, everyone buys them and it’s become increasingly hard to get the objectively better and cheaper alternative: powder.
And, of course you know why everyone buys them: They’re advertised as superior and producers make it very hard to get other types of products because they optimise their portfolio not based on what it best for consumers or the environment, but based on what’s best for their baseline.
Take this simple example and apply it to everyday life: computers, social media, cars, ffs even bicycles.
Self-determined #consumerism, heck #EthicalConsumerism does not exist.

Anche il social vegan Abillion (che conta milioni di iscritti in tutto il mondo) lascia Meta. Hanno inviato e mail per comunicarlo a tutte le persone iscritte .
Le motivazioni sono per lo più etiche: spiegano che non si riconoscono nelle scelte di un logaritmo che predilige contenuti dove regnano la violenza e la disinformazione pilotata.Non posso che essere soddisfatta.

We need to stop thinking of consumerism as our go-to answer to problems – we can never overcome billionaires by "voting with our wallets"!
Instead we need to vote with our labour power. Oh you're a bad person? A bad institution? A bad system? Well, we collectively won't work for you then and we collectively will build alternatives!
