Thanks for taking on the challenge of conscious consumption so thoughtfully. Your tax incentive is a great idea. Also low-interest government loans could possibly help, most of all though I think the issue lies in the hands of consumers, as you pointed out. Would we be willing to pay three, even four times the price for an item to have it manufactured in this country? If the answer is yes, then maybe its time to reinvigorate the American textile industry and push these companies and our government to invest in all American production. Heather, great review.

Don't worry about the length when each paragraph and link is so helpful :) I'm glad you can relate to how I felt as well in reviewing American Apparel. Purchasing decisions just aren't so simple now and if we all only thought about what resources and labor practices, etc go into every item we purchase, well...I don't even know what kind of positive outcome that may have! Oh, and the vest and jacket look better on you than on the models. Damn straight. Heather, what a fantastic review!
