Love 146: An Overview
This includes everything from electronics to clothing to coffee to chocolate. How can you avoid these goods? Shop for fair trade items. Also, shop for things made in the US, or another developed country. It might cost a bit more, but the quality is usually better too. Better to buy fewer things than to know you might be wearing something made by slave labor.

I hadn't heard of this book before. Trafficked sounds like a good book to use in my literacy program. cultivatingyou@gmail.com
