This is a couple of days old but I felt compelled to post it anyway. The reports of slavery in other countries that produce goods for us here in the US continue with this story by The Observer in London. For the past few months, I've been wrestling more and more with my buying habits and not for financial reasons either. But, a moral one...

It has to do with a simple sense of right and wrong.... just and unjust. There's no way to 100% change your spending habits to know how everything gets made but you can be a more "conscious consumer"... at least know what's going on and think before you buy.
