Many problems are not suitable to be addressed by individual’s consumption choices. For instance, I think governments and international trade organizations should make sure there is no slavery involved in producing goods - it should simply not be legal to sell something if it was produced by slave or child labor. I would ask you to judge me on the efforts I make to influence politicians in this direction, rather than on whether or not I have done extensive research on the sourcing of minerals of every smart phone brand. The latter simply does not scale.
