Making the Right Choice - Eco-friendly and Ethical Shopping

Tuesday, April 7th, 2009

As we all try to do our best to reduce our carbon footprints and preserve the earth, it’s often a little more difficult than we think. Finding eco-friendly products that are affordable is a challenge in itself and despite our ‘commitment to the cause’ sometimes it’s easier to give up looking and resort to buying non-eco-friendly items.

The crew at Get Rebounding ask that you try not to give up. There’s always an alternative, so when possible buy eco-friendly items online and give your business to companies that are dedicated to incorporating green business practices into their daily strategy and operations.

In addition, we believe it’s not just about being eco-friendly. It’s about ethics. Before you make that purchase, ask yourself the following:

Does the company you’re purchasing from make sure that:

  • Working conditions must be safe and hygienic
  • Minimum wages are paid to all workers
  • Working hours are not too long
  • Employment is freely chosen
  • Child labor is never used
  • No discrimination in whatever shape or form is practiced
  • No harsh or inhumane treatment (of humans and animals) is tolerated

If in doubt, we suggest you spend your money elsewhere.
