Isn't that "anarchy?" OK, maybe not, but it's about responsibility. It has to start somewhere, otherwise no one wants it. So, for me, I try to be responsible in my own life. I don't shop at big chains, I preferencially buy things like yarn from local retailers even if they have to order it for me, or if I have to buy something a little different than I wanted. I drive a fuel efficient little car, and keep it in the best repair I can afford to so that it stays as clean as it can. I contribute in the ways I can, like donating blood or doing volunteer work when I can. I always show up for jury duty, and I vote in every election. It's not much, but it's about my limit right now.
And there are a couple of new books out there right now about corporate social responsibility. Two of them are about how much MORE profitable some companies have become since beginning socially conscious programs. Wow, what a thought, huh?
Thank you for starting this thread, despite a little heat.
