so a few years ago i read no logo and it reactivated a dormant politic within me. it clarified and placed a number of ideas into one coherent argument and i vowed to 'do something' what this was amounted to was examining how i spent my money - in particular looking at where the things i bought came from - i became a habitue of second hand clothes shops as i got into recycling and composting in a big way - i bought green and i took to organic, i became a label reader scrying for sources.
here's the question: when does it stop being counterproductive not buying from sweatshop nations? how do i know if they are being paid a decent wage? does there come a time when instead of not buying from them we should - i'm thinking of the shift from boycotting south african goods to being urged to buy them and thus support the new regime?
i just wonder when comes the time to re-evaluate where i put my money?
finally where can i buy decent clothes that aren't tied dyed hoodies ( they are unbecoming in a man my age)!
