Sure for sure. And I'm tired of people treating it like it's all or nothing, OR that it is stupid to boycott! I have my reasons why I refuse to purchase from this brand specifically and not others. We all only have so much energy (and money, mental resources etc) to be able to do so much. Let's not shit on others for trying, or others who don't want to. Maybe their energy is spent on other injustices and boycotts. Or just trying to survive. I dont like that they steal water from drought stricken communities here in America, and what they did in Africa. I have the mental resources and the luxury to boycott them so I do. You don't so you don't.
The only jerks are the ones who literally don't care because it has nothing to do with them.
I avoid Nestlé as much as I can, I mostly... I just buy a coffee crisp once or twice a year. It's one of my favorites and I have not found an alternative I like as much/better.
Nestle isn't exactly making bank off me, that's enough.
Yup and as far as I'm really concerned enough to speak up to anyone, it's if they buy their bottled water. Since like, that's supporting them stealing water from drought stricken fellow Americans. Most people will be willing to try a different bottled water brand. And I think that's a really good bare minimum boycott that is accessible, easy, and could spread.
