    In the interests of the times we rather awkwardly recommended the #ShopEthical website, we are following up with the this open letter.

    Dear ShopEthical.Org.Au,
    Your site gives Amazon an F-rating.
    Why are you then hosting it on Amazon servers?

    It seems unless one orders something online, or goes abroad to purchase a phone/modem **or computer**, its impossible to obtain a new, #ethical device. By "ethical" it means, easily removeable/#replaceableBattery, a sane (smaller) size (#phones), no #fingerprintScanner hardware, easily flashable with #FOSS firmware.

    Imagine if instead of focusing on building nuclear subs, #Australia focused that $370b on ethical devices that protect people from abuses.

  3. ORGANIC FARMING FAILURE in #SriLanka.

    Apparently one of the reasons for President #GotabayaRajapaksa's downfall earlier this year was his "overnight" shift to organic #fertiliser.

    It apparently resulted in a 20% drop in #grain yield.

    Also #tea yield "dropped tremendously".

    Surely there's a way to grow tea using #organicFarming or #biodynamic farming methods.

    What can we learn from this apparent failure?

    In terms of tuna it could be either the #heavyMetals or what they were fed for #Australian market.

    For soy, and other farmed products that are sprayed with toxic herbicides, pesticides and fungicides it appears to affect the #gutFlora/#microbiology of the digestive system.

    After going #organic (and #ethical) all health problems disappeared, almost immediately.

    We've known people will intense #digestion, #skin, #appetite and other issues. Going #organic, #ethical and #bigFish-free fixed them – even #reflexes improved.

    Though we support #urbanFarms, farm-to-fork distances being reduced, and flow-on benefits for #communities in doing this, it cannot be at the expense of #nutrition and seedFreedom.

    Hi Humane Tech,

    Feel free to add us (and our PGP fingerprint) for ethical #graphicDesign work.

    We've been using refurbished computers for years now, use the (#)newInternet (Tor and I2P) and bitcoin. Antiwar. We use #ShopEthical website, buy (SOLE) Small Organic Local Ethical. We also donate to freedom-respecting infrastructures/development.

    Yes this problem is often referred to as the #raceToTheBottom. Most #CEOs are just good at convincing people to #workHarder for less, and #environmentalVandals.

    In #Australia we have a resource called #ShopEthical. Its a #website that lists #brands and the #corporations they are operated by, it informs the user of any known breaches of #ethics. It might help you in the country you're in.

    Try searching for:
    "<BRAND>" "shop ethical"

    What percentage of jobs are considered useless, again?

    Work at an place that's devoid of ethics, to afford stuff you don't need (again from #unethical #corporations), to impress people you don't even like.

    But at least the #stickMarket is shooting up.
