The following are excerpts from the Green America newsletter that I received this morning:
ResponsibleShopper.org. There, you can find the real scoop on what's going on with the world's major corporations, how you can put pressure on them to clean up their act, and green choices you can make to switch away from corporations that you decide don't deserve your business.
We've developed a short quiz, pulling together questions about all kinds of corporate malfeasance: use of sweatshop labor, human rights abuses, monopoly conspiracies, selling toxic products to an unsuspecting public, and more.
Responsible Shopper can keep you informed of the worst corporate abuse, while Green America's other resources, like their publications (free when you join), and www.greenpages.org can help you go green.
Here's a sample question: which major oil company faces trial in the US in April for human rights abuses in Nigeria? Find out by taking the quiz.
You'll also find at Green America - regular green-discount guides, chances to win trips to Green Festivals, regular green-living tips, and more. The more people saying, "I am a Green American," the more power we have collectively to change the way America – and the world – does business.
