“An antidote to the mindless rhetoric about shopping as a patriotic duty, is, if you will, sustainable shopping. It supports workaday artists, good manufacturing practices and small businesses and keeps fine craftsmanship and beauty in our daily lives.”
Hot Local Stuff has “sustainable shopping” resources in the Bay Area.
Because of your online encouragement, I’ve decided to shop (truly, my first Christmas) solely for handmade, locally made, and/or materials having to do with sustainability or economics.
So my christmas list this year is a bunch of copies of The Shock Doctrine, stuff from Etsy, the Portland Saturday Market, and or gift certificates to local businesses.
