I boycott all fast food chains (this includes Starbucks). Hell, I'm vegetarian for both ethical and economical reasons.

I do not buy clothes for known sweat-labour retailers (Gap, Wal-mart, major fashion brands). I also will not buy clothes from those retailers who have adopted ethical principles AFTER they have been exposed.

Esso and Shell get no money from me. Esso makes the dirtiest gas and has the worst environmental record of the major oil companies. Shell has by far the worst human rights record and it is still ongoing (see Nigeria).

Try to shop as little at Safeway as possible. They aren't necessarily ethically worse then any other major food outlet but I hate how inflated the prices are and how they think they fool into the fact that you're getting deals with them and their sh*tty club card.

Will not buy an American car. (This is moreso to do with quality and economics)

Keep in mind that these are my own choices and I don't go around yelling polemics at people who disagree with my views. I'd appreciate the same courtesy.

*edit* Oh yeah and I will not buy any major brewery beer, unless it's the only thing on tap and I'm dying for a beer.
