THIS JUST IN! STORES THAT MANUFACTURE OVERSEAS BUT HAVE AN ETHICS POLICY. READ MORE ON EACH WEBSITE ABOUT THIER CODES OF ETHICS:

*la senza
*Marks work wearhouse
*REI products (though they sell other brand names at their stores, they are only responsible for rei products
*ll bean
*Levi Strauss
*Adidas Group (though they claim to have an ethics poilcy it is not detailed on their website)
*Timberland

I am excited about getting behind companies who are fair trade or have an ethics code. The more of us doing it, the better to make a change.

  1. Megs, it's Robin hehe. I just read on your fair trade stuff. I'm in a labour relations class and even while supporting labour within North America where wages are fairer than in other parts of the world, take a look into 'living wage' standards. There's a new push for 'living wages' as opposed to minimum wages. Minimum wages are the minimums imposed by government on local organizations. However, most would conclude that earning minimum wage at a full time position may not be enough to support a good quality of life.
