Man disappointing seeing how many companies I recognize on that list. Boycotting all these companies would be difficult considering how a lot of the companies on here own 20+ brands.

    Yeah Proctor & Gamble is the toughest one for me. They kinda have a lock on some industries like laundry detergents.

    I guess we just do our best. Russia is a small market, so it doesn't take to much of hit to these bastards in the bigger markets before they abandon Russia.

    There’s a reason they say that there is no ethical consumption under capitalism. This isn’t to say we should just throw our hands up and give in, but do whatever the hell you can.

    For instance—sorry if you already know to do this—it may not apply for a lot of these companies, in that the goods are consumed, but whenever you can, buy secondhand to reduce not just waste, but also profits for whoever produces the product you buy. Also, sorry if it sounds trite, but I like to think that every little step helps in some way.
