Putting your money where your mouth is- or at least one step closer.

www.credomobile.com/lpgenerated/choice.aspx

This all started with personal political turmoil that I generally have all the time. I'm generally political and an active activist but feel like I cannot even attain a life that I agree with. Everytime I eat fast food, or go to the mall or play video games I am (directly and indirectly) supporting child labor, sweat shops, civil wars in Africa, and all sorts of other controlling powers that probably do not support women of LGBT people. Though to some extent its just part of life in America.

It is also too easy to forget where your money is going when you go shopping and what that might mean down the line. It is kinda like processed meat they don't want you to really know how it got from cow to beef and what the environmental costs are. Its good business in their view


However when something that comes along that really tries to be mindful, I appreciate it and share the word. So, during this time of materialistic holidays think where your money is going, and where it could go. Doesn't mean this phone has the answers, but its promoting a message I can stand behind.

Here's something related -- where to shop during the holiday season to support RAINN (The Rape, Abuse, & Incest National Network). It's actually a lot of places you might already shop so check it out.
