Product Information
Do our consumer choices really have a major impact on people and planet? If so, what can we do about it? Which companies and products should we support or avoid? And which ethical claims can we trust? The Rough Guide to Ethical Shopping cuts through the greenwash to answer these and many other questions. Without preaching or oversimplifying, it covers topics including - do boycotts work? Is buying local better? How fair is fair-trade? What about sweatshops, or organics? The Rough Guide looks at what to buy - the human, environmental and animal-rights implications of everything from tea to chicken, jewellery to makeup, electricity tariffs to plane tickets. Also examined are shops and companies - from clothes shops and supermarkets to banks and travel agent - both high-street names and ethical specialists. Finally, there's a directory of useful websites, books and magazines, plus tips on how to do your own research.Product Identifiers
