Sustainable Sundays: Labor Day Favorites

Most people think of Labor Day as a nice, relaxing long weekend. Others view it as the beginning of fall or the start of football season. However, the last holiday of summer is more than a day off work. It is a controversial American holiday started by unionized laborers who wanted better working conditions. Some of these laborers even died for this labor movement in late 1800s.

So let's give thanks to those workers and this movement for improving the quality of life of so many Americans!

Upcyclers is always striving to improve the conditions of our planet. We support and promote hard working individuals who are pursuing sustainable business choices.

This Sunday I let our hardworking shops choose the Sustainable Sunday picks!  Each week our team has a discussion posting where our upcycled shops pick their favorite items from fellow members.  We have over 300 pages of magnificent finds.

Labor was the first price, the original purchase-money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or by silver, but by labor, that all wealth of the world was originally purchased.   ~Adam Smith
