I think it gets tricky trying to support multiple causes. If you've watched the Good Place you probably know what I'm talking about, but if you try to do everything perfectly all the time, then you're just going to be miserable agonizing over every decision. I'm starting to think that it may be better to focus on causes that are higher priority to you and do what you reasonably can for lower priority causes where you have the bandwidth for.

Oh yeah, absolutely! No one could survive if they tried to champion every just cause. Sometimes triaging is the best we can do.

Just that I think it would be good for European goods to not only be alternatives, but better alternatives. Basically, don't settle for Nestle just because they're headquarted in Europe and not the US, find better alternatives within Europe (or the EU specifically) to further promote if they exist.
