Any good sites for green comsumerism?

Specifically I'm looking for a site that lists manufacturers that make their goods in decent living conditions where workers are treated fairly and paid well.





Everything I see is made in China. I want to buy safe goods (organic or natural) and ones made in a politically correct manner.





Hope that makes sense, I googled quite a bit and couldn't find much.

GREEN CONSUMERISM





ARRRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHH





Sorry had to get that out. The two words do not go together. To be green just buy less of everything. Consumerism is the problem; consumerism is greed which is exploitation of other people and the Environment.








I know that is not what you meant to say so just Google Fair Trade http://www.fairtrade.org.uk/


Once you have learned about the issues you will be able to make better choices when you buy from anywhere. Company's have to have a statement these issues, just read it before buying a product.





However, you are right to be very cynical, they use all sorts of terminology to make you believe they are Environmentally supportive and fair to the producers when they are clearly not. Use Fair Trade products as a starting point and work from there.
Reply:I understood your intentions, in the 'Green' sections a lot of people want to BUY as much GREEN stuff as possible so they can be fashionably green consumerists. I am glad you think carefully before you buy. Thank you - belladonna Report It

Reply:You want safe, "politically correct" products.





What exactly does that have to do with "green". It helps the environment by ... making you feel good about the cheap junk you buy?
Reply:why do you hate chinese people??
