Pantry – Alternatives to Koch Industries Consumer Products


We’ve heard a number of requests for a collection of pantry products (paper towels, toilet paper, etc.) that are not from Koch brothers owned Koch Industries owned Georgia Pacific and that earn high ratings on Ethical Mom.

Why do consumers want alternatives to products affiliated with the Koch brothers? According to the International Forum on Globalization, Charles and David Koch have been among America’s single largest sources of private money for attacks against environmental protections. They have reportedly spent over $643 million to block or rollback legal protections for clean air, clean energy, clean water, and other environmental issues through sketchy scientific research, lobbying lawmakers, contributing to electoral candidates’ campaigns, media manipulation, etc. Source: kochcash

See the blog SandersonKoch for more information on the Koch Brothers, including clips of a speech from Bernie Sanders explaining their political agenda.

See also the GreenPeace report on Koch brothers funding of climate change denial.  Yes, it's bad.  The damage these two have done will last for generations - and the cost of the climate change they have helped bring on is incalculable.

 

According to niftyhomestead:

Koch Industries emits 24 million metric tons of greenhouse gases a year. Koch Industries is the nation’s 13th largest polluter/emitter according to the University of Massachusetts at Amherst’s Political Economy Research Institute. See detailed emissions breakdowns: peri.umass.org
