I try my best to save energy and prevent pollution. <br /><br />Keep up the good work :-)Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05079526251868018403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659632118731010744.post-48276960239417459312012-08-16T17:28:29.785-04:002012-08-16T17:28:29.785-04:00Thanks Sarah!Thanks Sarah!lucihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07571218016216143996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659632118731010744.post-23738521303093885942012-08-16T16:55:37.335-04:002012-08-16T16:55:37.335-04:00Great article, Luci!

You are absolutely correct about...Thank you Bee! <br /><br />You are absolutely correct about people voting with their money. It is so important to know the companies you make your purchases from. Know what they are doing to reduce waste and close the loop on manufacturing. Know the quality of the products they are selling and how much of a contribution they make to cyclical consumerism.

Understanding how our society effects our environment should be important to the average consumer, who votes with his dollars with every purchase he makes. I look forward to the next post in the series. Well done. Off to share...

I think we are coming to a point where we need to keep our products as local as possible, but that is a difficult business model in a global economy. <br /><br />I wouldn't give up hope of something like this taking off in Australia and other places.

I think Australia - despite our OK standing in the current emissions race - needs to do something like this. I'd love to, but doubt there's the resources or support here for such a venture!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07939041268337644065noreply@blogger.com
