Think
you're doing all you can for all people?. So why are you
wearing that T-shirt made by a child who makes ten cents
a day? Why are you using products that are destroying the
enviornment? Why are you drinking coffee that Starbucks®
and virutally every other coffee company practically steal
from those growing and harvesting it? Do you see what I
mean?
Yes,
I agree it's very difficult to be completely friendly to
the environment, to buy products that are fairly traded,
that don't use child labor or a virtual slave work force.
Here's how you can change that and do better for your world
and those who share it with us: Check out these companies.
