Re: [Biofuel] Sorel Boots
There's one company, I think doing e-commerce, that has tried to source all their goods as strictly Made in the USA, and they've had a lot of difficulty, but have succeeded in offering a good catalog. I'll try to find the article I received about them. Where it really happens is in local markets, like CSAs for food for instance, many varieties, not just food. Best wishes Keith A bit off topic, but, Phillip wrote: but Sorel Boots of Portland, Oregon is only U.S made. No kidding! I am from Portland, and did not ever hear of Sorel's until I moved to the nether regions of Idaho Falls, Idaho (cold), just South of Butte, Montana (frickin' cold) and just East of Jackson Hole, Wy (great skiing). Anyway, my impression was that Sorel's were Canadian. So I did some quick research and found out that Sorel's were founded indeed by a Canadian Company and was only recently aquired by Columbia Sports (which is indeed a Portland Company). So I am wondering if US made Sorel's are really US made or if they are made in the US owned Mariana's Islands (read slave labor from Indonesia) as were (and maybe still are) US MADE manufactured goods sold in Nordstrom's (based on an expose in the Seattle Weekly).

Re: [Biofuel] Sorel Boots and Crescent, Inc Hosiery
Keith, Marna, and All: Maybe each reader can find their own home-country manufacturer for their respective country. I just read that Sorel signed and agreement with Crescent, Inc., one of the last truly US made hosiery companies. http://www.crescenthosiery.com/index.htm Regarding other countries, I watch a Japanese language channel in San Francisco and see that Japan has many home-grown productsl; soley for affinities in Japan. The same can be said for folks from Mexico and the peculiarities of homegrown products marketed in California for resident Mexican population - chicle, hard to find spices, tamarinds, dried shriimp, etc. And in Seattle, I found some ludefisk, make only in Seattle for local Norwegian population. And in Paris, I recall finding some lovely home manufactured pastries that I would love to ship to the US. And in Dublin, Ireland, I visited the Guiness Brewery and nothing like homegrown Guiness right from the raw tap And my girlfriend from Honduras will die to find any Honduran specialties good market/resturant in San Francisco's Mission District to order platanos with rice and papayas (no tortillas please!)
