> The following corporations are members of #ALEC, a giant far right bill mill and lobbyist in the US who fights environmental protections and promotes #climateDenial. Boycott them: > > * #AmEx (American Express) > * #AnheuserBusch > * #Boeing > * #CenturyLink > * Charter Communications > * #Chevron > * #Farmers/Foremost > * #FedEx > * #Geico > * #LMG (Liberty Mutual/Safeco) > * #Marlboro (Philip Morris) > * #Motorola > * #Nationwide Insurance > * #PNC bank > * #Sony > * #StateFarm > * #Texaco > * #TimeWarner > * #UPS > > Notice that FedEx and UPS are both ALEC members. So naturally you should favor your national post. But if you must choose between FedEx and UPS, FedEx is worse because: > * FedEx supports the NRA discounts. The NRA and ALEC are aligned and support each other and support the same politicians (e.g. Trump). > * FedEx ships slave dolphins > * FedEx ships hunting trophies > * FedEx ships #sharkFins > * FedEx aggressively claims in advertisements to be pro-environment with low emissions. This misleads consumers as they obviously do not acknowledge how ALEC, NRA, and their other activities are quite detrimental. > > All of which are different forms of environmental abuse. So UPS is the lesser of evils IMO.
