at this rate, I'm going to need some pretty mad sewing skills

I've decided to try to stop buying things from China. I'm tired of participating in an industry that takes part in exploiting so many people. You'd think that since we're China's number one consumer of exported goods we would consider ourselves somewhat responsible for their manufacturing industries, but we don't. Many Chinese workers work in filthy, dangerous sweatshops, for little to no pay. Have you ever wondered why it's cheaper to buy something made halfway across the globe and shipped to the U.S. than it is to purchase something made in our country? Logically, someone has to come up short.
It's frustrating to realize all of the immorality and irresponsibility in our consumerism. I'm adding "China" to the list of suppliers I won't purchase from- a list already including Wal-Mart, Old Navy, The Gap, Nike, and Converse (sweatshop use), and Target (owner funds abortion providers). It's sad that I'm going to be hard-pressed to buy anything at this point. My newest idea is to make some of my own clothes (I have little to no sewing skill, we're talking simple shirts and skirts) in order to clothe myself in good conscience. This should be mildly entertaining for all involved. As a country, I really wish we cared more about other people.
Love,
Katy
