...and the importance is in the things he chooses to consume. It is just like investing. You can make a point in investing only in morally conscious companies and likewise you can make a choice to consume environmentally conscious products.

It's deja vu all over again. This is the basis of the famous economic theory known as the "trickle down" theory, espoused by Ronald Reagan, inter alia. With all due respect to Bill, whose comments are on target, this notion has been thoroughly discredited. As well it might. Any theory which depends on those at the bottom of society depending on the rich at the top is doomed to failure. As it was stated 2000 years ago by a great Master, "hopou gar ho thesarous sou, ekeine kai he kardia estin."
