In this episode (part one of two), Amanda is joined by Lisa Sharp of Retro Housewife Goes Green . We discuss the following: How and when boycotting is effective, How shifting up our spending habits is really an exercise in “progress not perfection,” The \"illusion of choice\" in the area of cleaning products, laundry detergent, food, skincare, and more, Some examples of the megacorporations that own a lot of the brands we already buy, How some of these megacorporations are actually MAGAcorporations, And the political impact of the brands we buy. Before we jump into that, Amanda reminds us of the origin of the statement \"there's no ethical consumption under capitalism,\" and why/how it is misused all over social media.
