Seriously, please consider this!

I know it seems downright impossible to avoid Chinese-made goods -- I have trouble, too. Anne Wilson posts some suggestions. My thanks to Alicia from Fructus Ventris for the link.

Another option for people as budget conscious as I am is to buy used clothing from consignment shops and thrift stores, where your money stays in your community. I prefer thrift stores myself, because I know what charities are benefitting from my hard-earned dollars -- in my little town, two are operated by Catholic Social Services, another one by our neighboring parish, and another by the City Mission. The prices are better than consignment shopts, too.
