Consumer activism is for everyone. The single most important way to influence corporate decision-making is to stand up and tell the truth.

Engage your neighbors and friends in a way that compels them to be as vocal as possible.

The market for ethical consumerism has been growing at 14% per annum, with the latest Ethical Purchasing Index, produced by Cooperative Bank, valuing the market at $34 billion.

Consumers are becoming more interested in the corporate ethics than ever before.

There are simple things you can do to ensure that your dollars influence better corporate decision-making.

Consumer activism means getting in the habit of making informed buying decisions – instead of an unconscious decision, make your buying pro-active.

Start with a few major items, or items you buy frequently and do the research on them and the companies that produce them.

Start being more conscious of the locally-owned and operated businesses you come across every day.

Consumer activism can be as simple as buying from local businesses that perform to the standards that have meaning to you – whatever that may be.
