I do agree that people need to put their money with where their mouth is if they think amazon is an unethical company, and I think it's a good thing to call it out.

And go where? Walmart? Kroger? There's literally nowhere better for most of us.

I'm really sorry to hear that. I know we're both trying my best, I guess I just have more options where I am

what's alternative

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What do mean? Just anywhere else, literally just do a web search that reads like "cordless vacuum" -amazon and click around.

how do you find ethical alternative

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Oh hi, sour. Didn't notice it was you.

Just do your best. Search about what you care about and click and read around the internet. ethicalconsumer.org looks like a decent reference for brands. And here's the first result for a search for "ethical alternatives to amazon."

Yeah some brands or places will disappoint you, but you live and learn and continue. I just pretend it's the 90s. It's not like I was starving, or couldn't find games to play, or movies to watch back then. I just couldn't press a button have the world brought to my door. It was fine. And there were fewer billionaires.

PS my links are geared to what I'm interested in. YMMV, so like maybe the eco stuff takes a backseat to the ethical treatment of workers for you, and that's cool
