After an early summer lull in corporation-free activity, I'm pleased to say that the pledge is going strong again. The great news is that there are now 100 people who trying to live without the Big 8. 100 may not sound like a huge number, but for every person signs the pledge, dozens of others have looked at the website and read about the Big 8. So why haven't they all signed the pledge? It's not really surprising. People find it hard enough to boycott one corporation, so 8 at once seems like too great a leap. Nevertheless, the website has an effect on anyone who sees it by encourages them to question where the stuff they buy comes from and what happens to the profit.
So, thank you to everyone who has signed the pledge and an even bigger thank you to everyone who has told their friends about the website. Let's keep the momentum going!
Pete
