Have you watched that video? I have been thinking about one part of it alot. The part where she (Annie Leonard) is talking about going to buy an alarm clock, and it is just too cheap for what she is getting... and bascially realizes that if she isn't paying for it, someone... somewhere is - by providing cheap labor, or maybe the materials were gotten in less than stellar circumstances. I was thinking about this ALOT lately... because our society really doesn't make it easy to buy the "right" product we need. I'm so frustrated by it, that I have started just not buying. I look at my options and say - none of these are a good choice.. .I'm just going to wait. I'm sure it isn't what our stores are hoping we do... but honestly it feels great! For one I realize hat much of what I "need" I really don't.
