Unconscious Consumption

  • and said:

Wow, so when I spend money buying fair trade products such as coffee to help farmers in Brazil make a decent living and to stop them from being exploited by huge capitalists, and when I make sure I buy more expensive clothes made in America so I do not support child labor, when I buy organic produce to help encourage growth and stop pesticide and fertilizer pollution…………..

All the extra money I spend is not “giving” because it does not go directly into a collection plate earmarked for elaborate, unnecessary and wasteful displays of luxury at a mega-church.

I live simply, I don’t buy unnecessary garbage that is going to end up in a land fill in two months and I recycle virtually everything.

I try to do what I can to make the world a better place for ALL PEOPLE.

And I don’t shop at Wall-Mart. I would NEVER buy products made by child slaves just to save a few bucks. THAT is true immorality.
