The Simple Choice

I've started becoming more aware that I need to make decisions that have a positive effect/affect on the world around me.  One thing I've done is to switch purses.  Not a big deal, but when I think about the way my purses are made it doesn't make sense for to keep supporting what is essentially slave labor (or at least by American standards).  Also why should I support killing an animal just to have a fasionable purse?  or use of harmful chemicals to create a "beautiful" product?  I would rather support a company that has ethical standards, helps their workers have safe working environments, and use sutainable and/or recycled products.  Simple Shoes is a great company I have started purchasing shoes and bags from.  If you want a quality, environmentally conscious product, I think they are definitely worth checking out.

Just think about what you purchase and the lives affect just to get it to you.  Don't just settle for the cheapest, go a step beyond and choose to support life and the environment.  You'll be glad you did.
