There are a few companies I boycott, but I've also come to believe that modern commerce is so intertwined that if you REALLY stood up for your principles, you'd starve...naked.

For example, I tried to boycott products made in China (oppressive govt., slave labor).

That lasted about a year until it just became too hard.

So now, I just do the best I can and try not to consume my way through the planet.
