You aren't special in some frontier town that only buys things from local grocers and smiths your own tools.

Even those shops you are buying from are sourcing dozens of products that are exploitative or damaging. That's what globalization is, as well. It's impossible to escape exploitation in a global supply chain, and even the most local producers are buying things from international companies to do their work.

No matter what your hands are stained, we all don't have a choice but to participate. It's a real drag!
