WARNING!

Boycotting without communicating with the company/corporations may make the situation WORSE… You don’t want to do that!  

Remember: Many times if the ONLY action you take is to not buy from these stores/brands then you might cause the company to make decisions that make the lives of workers even worse! So go online and be aware to see how companies you care about treat people and how they impact the environment. And write them a letter directly.
