That’s a fine conclusion, I don’t expect us to agree after all. I think I better understand where you are at after all this conversation. Thank you for having it with me. You are going for abstaining. My big focus has been reduction. I do need to travel or my mental state just gets bad. It doesn’t help that I’m stuck living in this state via a multi-year contract.
And as for boycotting, only a few places completely; Chick-fil-A, Hobby Lobby, and many other places. The rest is significant reduction. WalMart, Amazon, McDonalds, etc I will use rarely (maybe twice a year) and have been funneling a lot more of my finances to the local grocery Co-Op that primarily stocks local farm goods, Etsy, and locally owned restaurants. Similar to not adopting veganism, but eating a lot less beef, adding in vegetarian meals, and mostly going with fish for protein.
I support as much local as I can afford to, and that is more than I can ask for from others. Intentions matter more to me than the rest, because it can be worked with. Hope you have a great day!
That’s fair I often go a little too hardcore in my boycotts, and realize I’m left with little to no options in picking up something I need. No Walmart, no Menards, no amazon, and try to avoid target, luckily I’ve found a few small shops around town that I didn’t know existed, simply cause I had to find some things for the house.
Once while driving through the middle of nowhere I found myself getting hungry and all they had was a McDonald’s and a dumpy looking gas station. So I passed on and wound up regretting it cause the next town of any significant size was nearly 80 miles away and I found myself getting lightheaded and my vision started getting hazy. Luckily I passed a town with a clean looking gas station before I got to the bigger town and I discovered the magic that is Casey’s pizza.
