www.boycottit.com

The Idea

boycottit.com would be a site that anyone can go to, to see a list of companies and check on the company's business practices.

This is a simple tool anyone can use to check on the companies and services they purchase from and determine if their track record makes them want to be a company they continue to support.

A Database

Clicking on a company would focus primarily on bringing up information about the company as presented from the news.

Site's Slogan

"When You Buy From A Company, You Are Effectively Saying That You Endorse Their Business Practices : the way they treat their employees, the way they treat the environment, they way they treat their community. Choose who you shop from wisely. Your dollars shape the world."

Example : Wal-Mart and Shell
