Not every use of a smartphone is evil! We love, love, love the Buycott app. When you go to make a purchase of food (or really anything else), you can easily scan the item to see if the manufacturers or company who produces it supports causes that you’re opposed to. For example, are they solidly anti-environment? The app then gives you alternate products that are run by ethical and responsible companies so that you can make good decisions. Remember, at the end of the day, your biggest vote is with your dollar. Buying food is a place where many, many of our dollars go. Make sure they’re going to places that aren’t doing more harm than good. Just because a company has made a “green” product, it doesn’t mean that the company itself isn’t doing massive environmental or social damage.
