Third, here's a summary of their main products - mostly paper goods - to not purchase. Print out and save! Send to your friends! Post on your fridge! Use instead of Koch Brothers' toilet paper! I'll be the first to admit it's sadly nearly impossible to avoid their products in some form -- whether it's gasoline for your car or the construction materials in your home -- you've probably even unwittingly got or will continue to use one of their products. But this is a start, and if nothing else, for peace of mind it's helpful to know you're not giving your hard-earned money to them.
