Lizzie asks…

Isn’t spending a little more money on clothing that is fair trade/sweatshop free/eco-friendly worth it?

I’ve found quite a lot of designers that are sweatshop-free, made in the USA or UK, or use fair trade practices. (ie. stuff like People Tree, American Apparel, or Bibico, etc.) They’re only slightly more expensive than American made-for-a-dollar-by-exploiting-workers retai and just as stylish and practical for daily wear.
I’m a poor college student and I work hard for the little money I do have, but my parents seem to think my spending more money just because the clothing is ethical is “dumb”. But I’ve always felt very strongly about knowing where my possessions came from, and taking good care of them. I buy less clothing than other people too.
So is it “dumb” to spend more money on something just because it’s a bit more ethical?
Tim, that’s a completely illogical argument. It’s well documented that the ingredients and nutrition of McDonalds is not quality.
Though American Apparel has had workers rights issues, the companies I’m speaking of are certified organic, sweatshop-free, and/or fair trade. So there is no doubt to their legitimacy.

Its about conscience and awareness. I’ve made a choice that its worth it, yes

Chris asks…

I need help making up a San Francisco Bingo board.?

I’m making up a Bingo card (like the old car version) as a silly surprise gift for a friend who lives there, but I know nothing about the city. Can anyone give me some fun ideas of things I could add to it so I don’t have to do stereotypical San Fran landmarks/people? I’m looking for clothing (like Buddy Holly glasses) and accessories (like ecofriendly shopping bag) and other things that you would see when walking the city on an average day. Any foods, signs, activities, etc. would be greatly helpful. Thanks!
