Why does ethical/organic clothing always have to look like it's for hippies? It always needs to look like my grandma knitted it by hand...

I've got the new edition of @ethicalconsumer #EthicalConsumer magazine now. Top pick from the social media platforms? @Mastodon !

Behind them - also "best buy"s - were #friendica,, #Lemmy, #Monnet and #Upscrolled. Bluesky was just behind.

Unsurprisingly all the "big" ones were at the bottom, although Bluesky didn't fare too badly.

They also review #AI tools with #Thaura and Proton's #Lumo being the only two recommended ones with Google and Microsoft at the bottom.

Interested to see the next issue of #EthicalConsumer magazine as they're covering various tech related rooms: #AI, Browsers, search engines and Social Media (Will they include Mastodon? I'd hope so ...)
Got a couple of months to wait for it though ...

@scops D1 ist leider Telekom, deren CEO Trump ganz toll findet und hat noch weitere komische Ansichten hat https://www.cnbc.com/2025/03/03/mwc-deutsche-telekom-ceo-says-europe-needs-its-own-doge.html

D2/Vodafone ist ein Partner von #Fairphone und bietet Fairphones als Firmenhandy den Mitarbeitern an.

Im #ethicalConsumer Nachhaltigkeitsranking schneidet O2/Telefonica auch nicht schlecht hab, aber hier habe ich im Ort auch nur mäßigen Empfang (im Nachbarort ist es dagegen super).

@MichaelSpatz

@ethicalrevolution this page is awesome!

I updated the avoid #Amazon section: https://pad.hacc.space/green-hardware-ranking?view#Amazon-alternatives

What I like about ethicalrevolution is that is references #ethicalConsumer Research Association which is simply awesome! I really like their newsletter and their magazine. In Germany, we have only https://www.oekotest.de/ and https://utopia.de/ with a smaller focus.

@jakob_thoboell yes, I am missing some #outdoor brands, too. The #EthicalConsumer magazin's focus on #UK is clearly visible in this category.

Travelling with some modicum of conscience requires a different but really enjoyable effort:

https://www.ethicalconsumer.org/transport-travel/shopping-guide/ethical-sustainable-travel-companies

I've long abandoned airbnb and booking.com, flying, and other ways to travel, travelling by train as much as possible, we seem to manage with one car between us, and I can usually find places to stay directly.

I really enjoy the research part of planning, emailing and phoning people, hours on maps and reviews to get a feel for places 🌐

As a business we give 2% of all our revenue to good causes and 1% to staff on top of salaries and bonuses. In 2022 this worked out at 45% of our profits. We've brought genuine world class coffees to Ireland so if you need coffee this week and think our business model is worth supporting.

#climateActionTracker already shows that some companies do more for climate than some countries!
But it really hard for individuals distinguish #greenWashing from real #sustainability. This helps:
