Where to shop when you're done funding the machine
Ethical Essentials Shopping Guide
Do you feel small in a hopelessly massive system?
I do too. But if 2025 has taught us anything, it’s that every dollar we spend is a spell we cast into the world… and they really DO actually add up. The people up top are doing the math and they’re learning to respect the masses. Now, let’s keep doing the work to make sure the message we send with our dollars is the right one.
I’m tired of feeling complicit every time I open my wallet. Aren’t you?
We know fast fashion exploits workers. Did you know that the onion farms in Idaho handed their laborers over to federal immigration agents as soon as the harvest was finished this year? We know our streaming subscriptions fund union-busting and pay artists pennies… not to mention Spotify owners’ obsession with funding the war machine.
I want this to stop — and I bet you do to! But in a system where the bad guys are bought into literally every aspect of the bare necessities we need for life, where do you even start?
This guide is your answer. It’s the result of a bajillion hours of research, with a little packaging help from my friend Claude. I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me.

THIS ISN'T ABOUT OVERTHROWING CAPITALISM WITH SHAMPOO.
But it IS about refusing to fund what you don't believe in.
Your dollars are votes. Your purchases are spells.
Cast them wisely.
