No, the few pennies you spend on products of a particular business do not affect the business' behaviour.
Thats patently false. Its a small effect obviously, but its an effect. You could argue that recyling household waste is pointless from the same logic (and people do, I know)
- tremon 11y agoWell, patently false... I think individual actions are negligible. In order to have an effect, you need a concerted effort from many people. I realise there's a chicken-and-egg problem here, because such efforts start with individual actions and need to gain critical mass from there. I did not mean to say that such causes are futile. However, care should be taken that moral appeals are targeted and realistic, or they risk defeating both themself and other appeals.
