Food for thought
Scholar, Global Thinker, and Hypocrite
An assistant professor urges his students to consider how their everyday consumer choices affect others around the world. But what about his own choices? (From the Chronicle of Higher Ed.)
I'm in the same situation. What to do when the society you live in permits only evil and exploitative actors to exist? Does anyone reading this blog even know where they could go to get clothing, for example, that wasn't produced by Chinese slave labor or Indian sweatshops?

Whole Foods.
You knew I'd say it.
We're starting to open stores with clothing and other home products that are organic and ethically produced. It's a small step, but ethical consumerism is a growing movement.

Sounds good. I'll check out their A-squared location next time I'm down there.
