The Nestle boycott is still ongoing but in my opinion totally fruitless. Nestle make everything from household cleaners, cereals, coffee, sweets, biscuits and have numerous subsidiaries. It would be nigh on impossible to boycott every product that Nestle have involvement with. I do not agree with what Nestle have done in the third world but it goes to show just what lengths these global companies will go to in order to maintain a monoploy on their products. |

Re: Petrol Boycott
I didn't say it was the cheapest, its about what ethical footprint it has.
e.g. you were looking at an HP printer here is 'their' ethical footprint BRAND Hewlett Packard HOLDING COMPANY Hewlett Packard Company POSITIVE RECORD Animal Testing Boycott Calls Ecological Schemes Environmental Reporting Genetic Modification Nuclear Power NEGATIVE RECORD Politcal Donations Armaments try teh same for epson etc and see what they come back with |

"GOOSHING makes it easy to buy brands from the most responsible companies at the (cheapest price)… and boycott those corporates that don’t care about animal welfare, human rights or the environment.." i still think i will go to pc world ta:) |
Re: Petrol Boycott

Re: Petrol Boycott
Sounds like an absolutely daft scheme, because the smaller companies get the Oil from the bigger companies, therefore buying from Total instead of BP, isn't gonna work. Still be the same people counting the money at the end of the day. And it's the VAT in the UK that makes the prices so ridiculous, thats why the rest of Europe are hovering around the 70pence mark. Not sure exactly how much VAT is on Fuel, but I think it's about 40% or something daft. Perhaps if less people had voted Labour in again...? Lets face it, they don't seem to be too left wing anymore...

Re: Petrol Boycott
It’s not VAT Diesel but Excise Duty that makes fuel so expensive in the UK.

Re: Petrol Boycott
Technicality, it's still the government taxes.
Does this tax duty whatever stop people from using their car ? because I can't see it, there's more cars than ever on the road now, and there's been a very obvious increase in the last ten years since I started driving for as a job. |
