This blog focuses on sustainable businesses or people around Chicago so that we can all make more informed decisions about what products or services that we are purchasing. I came across an article that can also help us make informed decisions, but not because of how sustainable the business is. This article features some mega-companies that ONLY care about profits. It is about non-sustainable businesses that aren't specifically in Chicago... but I feel the need to spread the word about these companies so that we can all be more informed about the problems these companies are creating. Check it out:

The article by Stephanie Rogers talks about the 7 companies that are doing the most damage to the world (Nestle, Chevron, Wal-Mart, Pfizer, Dow Chemical, Exxon Mobil, and Monsanto). Read it and let me know your thoughts. What do you think we can do to expose these companies more?
There's more than just that! Just keep making it known. Like how I boycott Chase because they're a-holes ripping off their clients. Highlight the good ones. Will you sign my petition to stop fracking?

ReplyDeleteI wanted to let Chicago subscribers know about an upcoming study. We’d like to speak with a few people while in the Chicago area (Aug 2) who are interested in healthy local choices. Check out the Craig's List post here:
