We live in a time of human rights abuse, animal cruelty, genetically modified foods and the massive impact of industry on the environment. These can often seem beyond our control and quite removed from our everyday life. However, the fact is that every time we buy something, our spending dollar endorses a company and its activities, whether we are aware of it or not - whether we like it or not. By avoiding companies with a negative track record and buying products from companies who have a positive impact, we can send a strong message for change and support the practices that make our world a better place to live in. Companies need our money to stay in business - money talks, and your dollar literally is your vote. This shopping guide provides information on the environmental and social record of companies behind the brand names of common supermarket products .This is based on assessment gathered from over 25 sources including the work of organizations such as Greenpeace, Choose Cruelty Free, Corporate Monitor, Reputex, Responsible Shopper and Sustainability Victoria. This website provides more detailed information and further resources for reducing your impact by being deliberate about the things you buy. Every time you go shopping, make a difference, make your dollar count!
