eco-sustainable/fair trade clothing

Darkbluerabbit:
I was watching TV with my sister a while ago and saw a Wal-Mart commercial where they were claiming to be "eco-friendly."  The message was basically "Look!  Wal-Mart sells compact fluorescent lightbulbs!  We're so GREEN!"

I think a part of me died that day. 

Ozymandias:
To be fair, they actually have been pushing energy saving bulbs really, really hard.

ThePQ4:
...I am choosing not to address the Wal-Mart remark. As an employee, it's best, I think.

Anyway, I started looking at some of the links, and while there are a few things on there i like (in particular a couple of cute skirts I could wear for work!) they do not make them in fat-girl sizes... So much for -that-... and I really wanted the pixie skirt I found. :(


Edit: Screw the clothes...I went onto the Vegetarian Shoes and the Simple shoe sites....goddamn it. I fell in love with like four pairs of boots/shoes today. And I really shouldn't (really shouldn't!) buy them...but they're so pretty... The ones I want from VS would cost me 149 USD (including shipping, I ran it through a converter). ::cries:: The SS ones would be more like $80+ shipping... Being eco-friendly is expensive.

Slick:
Energy saving lightbulbs: Good.
Acting like one small thing makes up for being dicks: Not Good.

So you've got a hybrid SUV to make your daily commute more eco-friendly? GREAT!

Now, please also:
-compost
-turn your wasteful grass lawn partially into vegetables
-seriously, grass is a big fucking waste of resources, it's needy and useless
-and then you could stop buying stuff from mexico all the time?
-gardening is dead simple. I mean, there is work, but it is not a lot of work after the planting. If your community had a rototiller it'd just be, like, an afternoon or two of labour, then watering/weeding once a week. You can do it!
-turn down your air conditioning
-convince your company to turn off the goddamned lights at night
-like, that's a waste of energy. Don't blame the company, be an agent of change. You're part of it
-come one wallmart, I bet you leave lights on over night
-there ain't no such thing as a free lunch


(this is trying to draw a parallel to the light bulb thing)
(if you missed that)
(I am saying one good deed is good but it will not save the world so don't feel that much better, OK??)
