The rush to market modern technological innovations has further sullied the world of marketing, this point never better demonstrated than when Nestle pushed breastmilk substitutes on the third world. In fact, it could be argued that modern technology has achieved only the creation of a thoughtless, insubstantial commercialism, as manifest in the popularity of ethically dubious companies such as Gap, Nike and KFC. Against this tide of sickly modernity, the music cassette, or tape, is a gritty bastion of uncomplicated values - although it lacks the authentic crackle which personalises every LP, the tape has been an intrinsic part of the driving experience for years, and its portability offers an advantage which the more brittle and temperamental CD lacks. In addition, if you need to record music, the casette deck is still the best means of achieving this, and thus is a vital tool for any music producer or indeed music fan. Gooshing's thorough reviews of all the major companies involved in the production of casette decks give you the moral and ecological implications behind your casette deck of choice, while our search of over 350 major retailers gets you the best price on the best model for you.

The ethical shopper should endeavour to buy a cassette deck from a company with a respectable ethical record, in order to uphold a decent moral stance while shopping. However this is often difficult; many of the companies involved in this industry are riddled witrh dubious, and often well hidden, ethical policies. Indeed, the average consumer might not know that, for example, buying a Sony cassette deck enriches a company which is negligent towards workers' rights, global pollution and oppressive regimes. Yet the consumer can ascertain, quickly and easily, which cassette deck manufacturers to patronise through Gooshing's reviews, which rate each of these manufacturers on their attitudes on everything from animal testing to fair trade to organic certification. Gooshing provides a quick and accessible means of buying ethically, and so maintaining the moral ground when buying your new cassette deck. Please click through to find out more.
