Don't give up yet Granjura.
For those of you who think that boycott's do not work, I did a search for Boycotts.
On Ethical Consumer there is a long list of the changes that boycotts have made. They did actually work for Nestle, Bags. Libbys fruit juices ended its agreement with Nestle because of the babymilk problem. And a spoof ad by Greenpeace got Nestle to change its palm oil suppliers after only 8 weeks campaigning.
Just think about what happened to the fur trade and circuses after animal rights groups boycotted.
Kleenex and Andrex have changed their paper procurement methods because of boycotting. I have always said to everybody who thinks they have done their bit by recycling paper, that there's not much point unless they always buy recycled paper as well. They usually agree and do so.
I am a member of Viva! We boycotted shops and restaurants who sold foie gras and kangaroo meat along with other exotics. We do not see many stores selling foie gras now.
Look at Burma. If it wasn't for boycotts, many more companies, such as airlines and oil companies, insurance companies and clothing companies like Kookai and Cotton Traders, would have carried on trading in Burma.
Look at the stores that have stopped selling bluefin tuna.
Boycotting the sugar traders helped get rid of the slave trade, and boycotting the 1911 census by suffragettes helped women get the vote, that most of us did not use last week.
