Why do I choose to purchase certain items from a particular brand in the presence of other competing brands?
I generally strive to purchase products and services that are made ethically with minimal harm to, and minimal exploitation of, humans, animals and the natural environment.
Affordability, quality and sustainability (respectively) are also taken into account.
