I’m a part time library clerk making 8 something an hour. For most of us, what we can afford will always be a major consideration. But one thing that impressed me in reading the book is that ethical does Not have to equal expensive, though it does require more thought and research.

I would like to say that I do but when it comes right down to it, when I shop for food or clothing I buy whatever I need that’s on sale. Money is tight these days in my home and I try and stretch every dollar.Aside from that how many people actually take the time to learn about each and every company they buy from? I would have to think less than 1%.The only time many of us know that a company is being unethical is when we come across it in the news (such as GAP today with their child labor issues).I wish I had the time and money to stay on top of such things. I really do.
