One thing to remember is that you must start somewhere. Overall, it's way better than not doing anything.

- kmfrk 13y agoIndeed. You can't send a message to noname brands in the same way. I think companies like Abercrombie & Fitch are feeling the hurt as a result of this. I'm sure there are ways of making a point to companies on both the long and short tail of fashion/clothing, though.
- rebel 13y agoI don't see how. Whether you buy it from Nike or (insert lesser known shoe company with same policy), there's really no difference.
- iaskwhy 13y agoCan't say I have an example but let's hope there's at least one company who cares about that. Some industries actually changed to accomodate for those that care. A good example: food companies. At least in Europe it's quite easy to buy from companies that care about the environment, animals, lack of chemicals, etc. Eventually this kind of thinking will expand to other industries. Update: I tried to search for a couple of minutes for more responsible brands, apparently New Balance makes some of their shoes in the US: http://www.zappos.com/search/made+in+usa/filter/productTypeFacet/%22Shoes%22/orig/made+in+usa?zfcTest=sis%3A0#!/made-in-usa-men-sneakers-athletic-shoes/CK_XARC81wHAAQLiAgMBGAI.zso?t=made+in+usa http://www.zappos.com/search/made+in+usa/filter/productTypeF...
- marquis 13y agoAmerican Apparel is a famous example. Though their marketing may be subject to discussion, their production practices are admirable. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Apparel#Production http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Apparel#Production
