Everyday Justice: The Global Impact Of Our Daily
Choices seeks
to aid us in understanding the end-of-the-line consequences of our daily
consumer choices. Eye-opening it is to learn that buying coffee that isn't
"fair trade" empowers multinational profit-making at the expense of
exploited coffee bean farmers who can't even earn enough to support their own
families. The same could be said for what brand of chocolate or brand-name
clothes we buy. The book takes a "help thy neighbor" view of being
conscious of how and where we spend our money. We never think about the
consequences of our consumerism. We never think about "voting with our
dollar." While the author often takes a religious ethical stand
that may ruffle some, it does offer a comprehensive treatment of an important
subject--how we can all make the world a better place by simply consciously spending
our money, and spending it wisely. Email Sue Fabian to RSVP and get directions.
