Sure, but also, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism.

It's functionally impossible to ethically buy all the things you need and want. Yes we should all try to do our best and not just give up, but the actual solution is with systemic changes in our laws and regulations and how we set up our society. Everyone should focus on that long-term goal, while making small changes to their behavior. But that simply isn't feasible for everyone to do and that is the bigger issue.
