And whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly." - MLK I've recently tried to focus on what I support with my money because, along with my vote, it's the most powerful medium I can control for change. I totally agree with you and coffee seems to be the easiest to discern (with the fair trade and shade grown labels) but I struggle with other companies where labor practices aren't so evident. Would you be able to post some of the best/worst companies to support, or at least point me to another resource? The posts are great...wouldn't mind seeing them more frequently (if I didn't think it was totally lame to put a face with a tongue sticking out icon...I would totally put one here). “Through our scientific and technological genius, we have made of this world a neighborhood and yet we have not had the ethical commitment to make of it a brotherhood…We are tied together in the single garment of destiny, caught in an inescapable network of mutuality.
