I think Green consumerism is the best out of all the Mode of Advocacy. Green consumerism is as defined by Cox is, “To use consumers’ purchasing power to influence corporate behavior.” The Green consumerism is the most effective because I feel that it is the strongest. I feel like it makes the most difference.
I found an article that represents Green consumerism really well. The article is of a hedgehog that got its head stuck in a McDonalds McFlurry. There is also a picture that goes along with it.

The article states that many hedgehogs have gotten their spiky heads caught in the lid and died of starvation. Many people complained about this to McDonalds and they finally changed the design of their lids. When the people complained about this, they said they wouldn’t eat at McDonalds again until they changed it. This has only been a problem in Britain, thankfully it hasn’t been a problem in the United States of America.

Thats really funny because i heard about this problem this past summer. It was funny how they actually get stuck in it but... well i guess it's kind of bad but ya.
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of cool how one small thing can have that big of an impact. Choosing not to buy something until people get the change that they want is definitely a powerful thing.
ReplyDeleteI think it is good that people are able to stand up to such a big busniess and make them make a change
ReplyDeleteAww, they're cute. I love hedgehogs.
ReplyDeleteI think it's fantastic that one animal (or anything, actually) can lead to the change of a product.
This reminds me of something: The rings around soda cans are often incorrectly discarded. As most people know (I hope, anyway), animals often get caught in these rings and suffocate. So please remember to dispose of soda can rings and other items in the correct manner!
