Our family has not shopped at Wal-Mart for many years for some of the very reasons we were hearing Sunday evening. The presentations both were quite convincing about the need to buy fair-trade items whenever possible, pressure international and domestic companies to treat workers appropriately and with a living wage, support local businesses, and purchase and eat locally grown and manufactured items to the extent possible. I'm grateful we had the opportunity to hear Savin and Didier, and that students have the chance to serve in internships with SweatFree Communities.
