The Organic Consumers Association is trying to get one million people to join them in striving to Break the Chains by December, 2008. Urge your local businesses, community organizations, coffee houses, environmental groups, and churches to do the same! Click here to sign the Break the Chains pledge: I pledge to Break the Chains whenever possible by: *Buying Organic, Fair Trade, and Fair Made products. *Boycotting Wal-Mart and the Big Box chains, as well as the big chain bookstores, restaurants, grocery stores, and coffeehouses. *Buying locally or regionally produced organic and green products. *Buying Organic, Made in USA, Union Made, or Fair Made clothing, or else shopping for vintage and recycled garments. *Boycotting sweatshop products from nations such as China, where labor rights are routinely violated. *Giving preference to independent, locally owned, or cooperative businesses. *Turning off corporate controlled television, radio, magazines and newspapers, and tuning in to the alternative media.
