What I find interesting is the belief that "voting with your feet" actually works. For one, as Elizabth L Cline points out, unless you're part of an organised boycott, the company won't miss you as an individual. You have to be calling these companies out; challenging them lets your peers know what the companies are doing wrong.
What's also important to note is the work some companies/industries put in to actively steer you away from activism. From a lack of transparency to greenwashing, a lot of work is dedicated to making you think the problem isn't there, isn't a big deal, or has already been fixed.
Great newsletter, thank you.
