They treat us well and have all the rightsocial and environmental policies

I’ve been with the Ecology B/S since shortly after it started. I’ve taken Ethical Consumer from the 1st issue until today. Over 25 years ago, I participated in setting up SCE an independent stake-holder Co-operative in Northampton. It was, and is, dedicated (A) to curating wildlife diversity; (B) to producing local organic foodstuffs e.g. from orchards and beekeeping, and (C) to promoting satisfactions in the local community through involving them in both A and B. About 20 years ago SCE introduced its policy (and actions) to recycle, to reduce our use of CO2 fuels, reward workers and volunteers who cycle or walk to our sites. SCE has, since its inception, banked with Ecology. All that was just to demonstrate that I and SCE are prejudiced in favour of The Ecology B/S. That prejudice would have counted for little had they not, throughout the decades, offered excellent, polite and helpful service to us. So, given all that, why should prize-givers even consider rewarding other societies? Especially since many give rotten service (and are getting worse) and/or put investor’s money into the arms-trade, fossil fuels, worker exploitation and many other nefarious directions. Just so long as they yield them profit. Reviewed on: 12th March 2021
