24. Company duty to inform: For each product or service, consumers shall be informed of the biosphere and human impact of its sourcing, manufacture, distribution, and post-use treatment.


As consumers, we have more power than we might think. We not only vote with our wallets, but our consumption is conspicuous, and contributes to setting a tone across society - and this is a secondary and perhaps more powerful effect. And change is possible - look at how perception of veganism has shifted, in a relatively short amount of time, from being seen as a fringe activity paraded by the pious few, to a reasonable and accepted option for the main stream, who are now interested in personal and planet health.


In thinking about this episode, three things struck me. Firstly - out of sight, out of mind. Beautiful products mask less beautiful realities involved in their creation. To make choices, we need to know about them. Secondly, the scale of the challenge. The vastness of it. When you research and think about the some industrial activities, the sheer scale of it is staggering. And thirdly - it's the job of the system to shove the big picture right in people's faces: if information is clear and present at the point of decision - which, for products means the point of purchase - then consumer choices are not only more straight-forward, but there is potential for a major shift in standards, both for us, and for our world.


Talking points:


This is not a guilt trip: it's about free choice


Neo-freudian advertising and marketing


Oil fields the size of France, undersea mining the size of Europe


This principle is very simple: it's about attention


It's not just the system, there's also just bad practice


The world can't run on company lies


Labelling can make the difference: it tells you what you are doing


Carbon trading, bio-fuels and true effects


Styles of labelling: medicine info, tobacco images, energy ratings


Fourth separation of powers: holding large companies to account


Gaming in the system - civil society, the media and change


The other 25 principles will provide a strong context


The Freedom Pollute in context: as a last freedom


Systems thinking meets governance
