It's hard to do but SO worth it!

I’ve been on the bandwagon for about a month now. Not only do I feel it’s important to support USA-made goods, but I am appalled at the way the Chinese government torture and disrespect Tibetan citizens. Let me say that it’s been an eye-opening month. I really lived in la-la land when shopping before my boycott. My friends with kids are probably all mad at me, because I realized while shopping for a one-year old girl’s birthday that almost all toys are made by red hands! (From now on, the kids are all getting educational DVDs from me.) ;) This boycott is a great way to become a more informed consumer and ask yourself if you really ‘need’ that piece of junk jewelry or t-shirt before you just buy it because it’s cute.
