Hello everyone,

I recently started to get interested in boycotting brands, shops, and so on to support Palestine, Sudan, Congo and, generally speaking, countries that are affected by war and exploitation.

As you can imagine, is not easy at all as basically all the brands I use to buy in my daily shopping are someway involved.

I really care about “doing my part” in this, and I started boycotting major companies such as Amazon, McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Zara ages ago. But clearly, this is not enough.

I know it’s basically impossible to boycott everything and everyone, and I understand it’s just a drop in the ocean: still, I want to do what I can.

I recently moved to Tübingen (Germany) and near to mine there is an amazing ethic bio shop but I cannot do my “big” shopping there, as it’s crazy expensive.

I am definitely not rich o anything like that, so the question is:
How can I carry on with boycotting here in Tübingen and not spending a fortune?

I downloaded apps that tell you if a brand is involved in genocide but I was wondering if anyone, who is maybe doing this for a long time, has suggestions or can help in general.

Thank you!
