The Choose Compassionate Consumption Pledge

I have power as a consumer and I pledge to use that power to promote workers’ rights.

Before buying a product or service, I will ask myself the following questions:

• Does my purchase support a just economy? 
• Was the item/service produced with respect for workers’ rights and the environment?
• Who is profiting from my purchase?
• Are workers depending on my tip to enable them and their families to live with dignity?
• Does this purchase reflect a respect for the interdependent web of all existence?

I acknowledge that there are no easy answers to these questions and that there may at times be tensions between my values and my actions, yet I pledge to choose compassionate consumption and shop with my values in mind!
