The National Agency for Corruption Prevention of #Ukraine (NACP) adds #Unilever the owner of Lipton, Rexona and Dove to the list of international sponsors of war.

A giant billboard showing a photoshoot with wounded Ukrainian soldiers, in the style of Dove beauty adverts, has been installed outside parent company Unilever’s HQ in #London. It comes on the same day that Unilever is officially placed on the Ukrainian Government’s International Sponsors of War list.

Just buy from small, eco-friendly producers. There's a perception that eco products are more expensive but it's not necessarily the case. For example, Ecover has very reasonable prices. https://www.biggreensmile.com/brands/ecover.aspx?brand=Ecoverdeptid=SPECIALOFFERS&gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw44mlBhAQEiwAqP3eVlqEX4ZvgJTfQEnCmeV0J-pALAf_fYIGo-eHOv3Aon7t7aErlX9cjRoCxi0QAvD_BwE

@SimpleRobC @EugeneMcParland I wonder if Unilever use more or less the same ingredients for all of them? 🤔

@EugeneMcParland any developers out there that can make a barcode scanner app that links to a database with names of businesses that still do business in/with russia, and returns a green or red flag so you know what you can buy without supporting collaborators?

I don’t want to buy from businesses that do business with russia, but boy would it be great if I could tell from a quick scan vs having to look it up for every single product.. doable no?

Funny. When Bosnia was in its hour of need ir was all "the ancient erhnic hatred" and dumb commies killing each other.
