Get this book. Use it.

The best resource we received at this workshop was a book about responsible shopping. Face it, we're Americans and we shop. But we don't have to shop at stores that have mastered the concept of externalized costs. Go out and get a copy of The Better World Shopping Guide: Every Dollar Makes a Difference. It's a pocket-size reference based on the credo "every dollar makes a difference". Quickly look up which companies are operating in the green, and which ones really stink, before you go out and buy a pint of ice cream, dog food, cosmetics, or a new car. It ranks them on the following factors: Environment, Human Rights, Community Involvement, Animal Protection, Corporate Crime, Discrimination, Employee Treatment, and Philanthropy. Be sure to read the beginning: it is filled with vital information and inspires you to use it.
