During the time frame the games are being held, I am going to do all I can to avoid doing any business at all with these companies.
This list is taken directly from the official Chinese website of the 2008 games:

This will not be easy for me, or for you. A number of the companies on this list provide products I regularly use. Note I don't care where they are made, that is a different battle. Make a list of these companies, carry it with you and make a conscious decision not to buy anything from them or use their services while the games are going.
So, while the games are going, please don't give any business at all to these companies (with alternatives):
Coca-Cola (drink water, or pepsi)
GE (philips or siemens)
McDonalds (don't eat any fast food)
Johnson&Johnson (P&G)
Kodak (digital anything else)
Volkswagen (whom I have a lifetime boycott against)
Adidas (go a month without buying shoes)
Panasonic (Sony)
Visa (ease your consumer debt. if a debit card, use cash instead)
UPS (DHL or FedEx)
Samsung (Sony)
Omega (Rolex or Tag Heur)
Snickers (Hot Tamales)
Staples (Office Max or Kinkos)

Thanks for the list. I agree, it will be hard.
ReplyDeleteJust while the games are going, make it happen. Tough things to accomplish are normally worth it!
ReplyDeleteIt isn't my fault that I have a Kodak digital camera. :) I like the updated list of what to do as alternatives though.
