Creating opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers

Yeah, we're judging businesses. And you should, too! Ethical consumerism is possible, but first we have to name the problem. Nobody wants shoes made by children in sweat shops. (Or at least nobody good does.) Nobody (good) wants to fuck up the planet more than we already have.
