Does Affluence Fuel Spirituality? on Beliefnet explores the idea that with increased wealth (from increased work) comes increased consumption and the search for meaning.

Architects go green at the office in the New York Times introduces one of the most beautiful workspaces I’ve ever seen in an (originally) conventional office. Big windows for everyone. High Ceilings. Views. A green roof for birds. And it’s just what you expect for the offices of green architects.

If Not ‘Made in China’, Then Where? (here’s Part 2) explores one woman’s experience trying to evaluate how to consume ethically. She likes American Apparel, and that seems a tad misplaced.
