There is no ethical consumption under capitalism Arguably there is no ethical consumption period, at any level other than subsistence-level consumption. Merely degrees of compromise you are willing to accept. The moment you progress from "need" to "want", or otherwise seek out "luxury" products of any kind, you are generating inequality. It's arguably possible to go even farther, and point out that, since humans have a net negative impact on the world even at the most basic of levels, we literally cannot exist ethically at all. Our mere presence - even at our most "responsible" - disrupts systems and has an unnatural detrimental effect to the world around us and other species in it.
