Yet every time you write a check or pull out your plastic charge card, you are casting a vote in our economic system. Companies are responsive to consumer's preferences. Each time you make a purchase, you either reinforce a bad environmental product, or encourage a good one. As a rule, try to buy quality products that can be used for a long time, buy products with minimal packaging, and do not buy disposable products. Our success as a nation should not be based on the quantity of our consumption, but instead on the quality of our natural environment. For more information on informed shopping decisions, you may want to order a copy of 'Shopping for a Better World', from the Council on Economic Priorities, 30 Irving Place, NY, NY 10003. The cost is $4.95, plus $1 for shipping. The book ranks over 1300 brand name products. This consumer shopping section contains a number of specific recommendations. You may not agree with all these ideas, but we encourage you to do those things that you feel comfortable with. Together, we can bring about the changes for a cleaner world and a more stable climate. ***
