#I cannot in gold conscience buy a dog bred from a closed gene pool

Tired of the idea that being moral is just a one time decision and suddenly all the things that mattered before don't matter now and it's not a choice you make every single day where you weigh up wants and feelings and common good and personal responsibility. See being vegetarian. I chose not to eat meat every single day when I buy food. Every now and again I think about how much easier it would be to change my snack habits if I could eat tuna but I have to decide every time that even if I wouldn't feel guilty and bad it's a huge detriment to the environment and I know better. Clothing too. I like this dress. I know it was made by a woman or child in poverty who will not benefit at all from my purchase and while yes ethical consumption is impossible under late capitalism and all that but I can also just not buy it. If I need a new clothing item I can find one made locally using less wasteful manufacturing who pays employees a living wage. I know in some things individual efforts can't stop environmental degradation and all while major companies do nothing but I can't fix that on my own. I can only do what I can do and what I would like others to do.
