Buy local as much as I can, avoid large companies that are unethical, shop at thrift stores to avoid promoting sweatshop labor, support small businesses.

I vote with my wallet by researching the companies I spend my money with. I spend no more then 10% of my money with people who I feel don't foot the bill (because all or nothing isn't realistic). I always check to see where companies are putting their money.....and try to also find out what they're values are beyond what they say.

Voting With Their Wallets: New Research Finds Younger Americans, Liberals and West Coast Consumers Most Likely to Report Boycotting and ‘Buycotting’ Based on Values

According to a national survey released today, one in three (33%) American adults report boycotting; and one in four (27%) report “buycotting,” a product or service in the past 12 months because of the social or political values of the company that provides it.

The national telephone survey, which was conducted April 8-11, 2010 by StrategyOne, explores the social attitudes and behaviors of more than 1,000 American adults. The survey finds younger Americans, Liberals and West Coast consumers to be the most likely segments to consistently vote with their wallets by engaging in values-based consumption.

The survey asked whether or not respondents had, in the past 12 months, bought a certain product or service because they liked the social or political values of the company that provides it (“buycotting”). Conversely, respondents were also asked if they had decided NOT to buy a certain product or service because they disagreed with the social or political values of a company (boycotting). Similar research was conducted in January, 2010, by the Pew Research Center.

I took out my savings and checking money from all too big to fail banks, who stole taxpayer money and continue to pay themselves huge bonuses. These are the same people that caused the economic collapse, remember. So they caused it, took your money, and then paid themselves AGAIN after the fact with HUGE bonuses. How can you stop them? Stop giving them free loans by voting with your wallet and moving your money to a local or regional bank that is ethical and doesn't gamble on wall street with your money.

I vote with my wallet by purchasing goods that are made in America, and by boycotting goods that are made abroad by American Corporations who have taken good paying jobs abroad to exploit cheap labor abroad and to pay their CEO's insane salaries with the increase in profits from exploiting these poor workers from abroad.
