So Where do You Begin?

Ever time you make make a purchase you are making a choice. You pick out size, you determine if it's your style and color, how much can you spend. Yet many of us never stop to think where it was made and who made it. Was it made in a factory with proper lighting and saftey procedures? Was it made by an environmentally responsible company? Was it made by adult or child labor? Was it constructed in a sweat shop? We rarely ask ourselves these questions. Free trade is not fair trade.

You can use Google or MSN or any seach engine for "made in America" or "buy American" as a start. You can also take a look at Lou Dobbs site which I posted his link and look at whose exporting our jobs.

When you shop look for where its made and make your choice. The product you buy just might save your job, literally.
