I did it. It seems somewhat slanted towards 'Apple are evil' though (from the title/intro etc). Are Apple any worse than other brands of mobile phone in terms of worker conditions and environmental concerns? Or do they just get more publicity as they are so high-profile/newsworthy?

Maybe they are, I dunno.

Be nice if it said thanks when you'd finished!

Edit: Oh, the page title says thanks 🙂

I'm clearly evil. None of my far-Eastern manufactured electronics are fair trade or "ethical".

and the real irony is that an "Ethical" smartphone would be made in the same way just with a nice show factory and more layers of 3rd party suppliers to buffer the Brand name.

done.
i recently did an environmental conservation degree and if it taught me one thing it was that if you want to change the world become an investment banker.

i do understand how important honest responses are for your dissertation though......

Done. I had to write about 200 words in the other box for nearly every answer though as I couldn't answer the question any other way.
Just out of interest - what mobile phone does she have, and how often does she replace it?

Done, I'm horrible too. Where do I collect my slightly shonky fair trade iPhone for £800?

Done - one thing she may want to amend, where a question asked for 'primary' reason, you could enter multiple choices...might screw up with her analysis.

However, I'm clearly going to hell anyhow.

On the ethical/ sustainable front - a couple of people I know who are the biggest proselytisers for this have the highest carbon footprints. Constantly flying round the world on ethical holidays, driving 10's of thousands of miles in big cars and heavy consumers of products - many of which are air freighted in to the UK.
I buy stuff, I make choices bases on advertising (of course) but also on country of origin, stated views on sustainability and longevity etc. the questions in the form above were so limited in terms of those fields and seemed crudely set to get exactly the answer she wanted to get. Shame really.

I'm fairly sure she has an iphone. A reaction to the rest of the family being Andoid. She certainly has Mac book.....

I once stayed in a house where the dish washer was wired in so that it would only run in the middle of the night to to reduce its carbon foot print.

Fair enough except the family of 5 that lived in the house were all on holiday in Australia!!!!!

It made me realise that if I bought everything fair trade, it would cost me so much, that I'd have to become a fair trade working myself making ugly nik-naks out of reclaimed junk.

Done. I too am a heartless, capitalist pig. Only good news is that my age category is now apparently 35-45, as opposed to 40-50. This is a good thing as it means I can defer any acceptance of adult responsibility for a few more years 🙂
