| Re: Walmart
ok, for each of the important products sold at walmart, i will give you a good local store in my town.
food: Wild oats market, the food co-op both sells locally produced and organic foods
clothes: nepal tibet imports sells clothes which are made under fair trade, you can also get clothes from a variety of quality thrift stores,
electronics/games: force games, dale's electronics. while they sell products that are not mad under fair trade standards, they are the most community minded place to buy such products
i could go on, but bottom line, there are local places to get almost anything you can buy at walmart,
on top of that, walmart is the largest, they have massive lobbying power, and not only do you support their poor practice, but you pour money into their lobbying groups.
have you seen "the corporation"? you should, it might open your eyes to the horrors of big bussiness |
