We vote for what kind of world we want every time we open our wallets. When we buy products that benefit charities or pay fair wages, we say we want to support that. But when we buy products made in sweatshops or with slave labor, we are saying those things are okay too.
Obviously, they aren’t.
It’s not that people want to willingly support these things; it’s just that they don’t know. Nobody’s telling consumers where their shirt was made, whether or not the person who sold it to them is being paid fairly or where their money goes after they bought it.
This blog will provide information necessary to turn an ordinary consumer into a generous shopper. It will highlight organizations that donate all proceeds from merchandise to support charities.
Who am I?
Well, I’m Emily. I’m a college student from Indiana. I love shopping and I love seeing how to change buying habits to make other people’s lives better. I’ll do all the research so you don’t have to. All you have to do is decide to use your wallet to make the world a better place.
Interesting topic Emily! I'm eager to read more.
