A friend of mine (actually a friend, not me, I have known forever not to buy soda streams I PROMISE I'M NOT A LIB angry-hex ) wants to actually try to boycott Israeli products (finally). They have a soda stream though and they want to continue to use it, but they don't want to buy the cartridges from soda stream because they're don't want to support genocide. Since this is a noble goal I want to help them.

So what are their options, where do they buy cartridges for their soda stream that don't support literal genocide. This is their Very Important Treat and they really want their treat and we all deserve our treats so I'm trying to help them. Thank you.

Thanks everyone this was super helpful...looks like you just buy an adapter and then I've got a bunch of local brew stores that will fill the tank!

No ethical consumption doesn't mean all consumption is equal, it means you'll never manage to reach full ethicality under capitalism. It is not free reign to consume as unethically as you like.

Did I say that? My point is, good luck finding something that is as luxurious as a SodaStream built by anything but heavily exploited hands.
