Glaxo-Smithkline and Procter & Gamble are also bad.
Ethiscore report on toothpaste
Green People toothpaste is pretty good and it doesn't contain chemicals to make it foam.
I'm sorry but being full aware of where everything you buy comes from is serious hard work. It's certainly something I don't have time for.
I do try and make a note of it if I hear something is particularly dodgy, but otherwise I've got more selfish things to worry about.
not being part of animal cruelty IS fighting a battle though, and it requires consciousness and responsibility as well as no small amount of effort. I'm not saying it makes me a good person, probably the opposite, but I am just ignoring nimal cruelty issues at the moment.
I don't think it is, vegetarianism and veganism is not activism, it's compassionate and sustainable living. It could be considered a boycott, but I think that maybe promoting vegetarianism would be fighting a battle, or trying to brng companies down... Not abstaining from the products of slaughter.
It does require resonsibility to a degree, but I don't think it could be seen as the same as being an activist. Plus people are vegetarian for different reasons.
