The definitive ethical shopping guide

I've found it!!! The definitive ethical shopping guide - almost. The Ethical Consumers Guide http://www.ethical.org.au/guide/browse/product-types/ gives a listing of products, brands and companies, and ranks the companies in order in relation to their environmental and human rights record. It's very eye opening. There are many companies out there that the guide is calling for a boycott on. My only problem is that it doesn't go far enough. It primarily deals with groceries; I want a guide to ALL brands so I know what to buy. Maybe I should write one ...

In other news, the present buying dilemma has been temporarily solved. I've predominantly bought from The Body Shop, a huge supporter of Fair Trade, human rights and the environment. http://www.thebodyshop.com.au/Content.aspx?Id=6
