Re: Boycott Chinese goods
I have been boycotting Chinese goods for at least 10 years. I started because they use prison labor to make a lot of their goods, and they have no environmental regulations for factories either. It is hard to avoid Chinese goods, but the effort makes you much more conscious about where your things come from. It also just makes you buy less. My partner, Gray, teaches Chinese history in a university. One year he had all his students go through everything in their dorm room and make a list of what was made in China. The students were all amazed at the length of their lists-- hardly anything they had was made anywhere else. It is a consciousness-raiser. Michelle
