Buycott is a new, and so far unique smartphone app that let's you scan products in a store and see exactly what company it comes from, and what they stand for. Basically, you scan a jar of pasta sauce, made by company A. Well in reality company A is owned by company C whose parent company is D, and they're a bunch of f***ing A**holes that you don't want to support. That's right, put it back on the shelf. You can create campaigns, for example, "against GMO's," and it'll instantly tell you if the food your buying conflicts with those interests, without actually having to do research on any of those companies. It's not perfect yet, but it's definitely a step in a great direction. And the biggest thing it needs is users supporting it. It's available for Android and iOS, and is free.
