Americans would prefer clean air and water. We'd prefer companies that respect their neighbors and neighborhoods. We'd prefer fair treatment of workers. But we feel powerless. We think that government and giant corporations hold all the power. They don't. We do.

We are the world's most powerful consumers. What we buy... or don't buy... drives the decisions of governments and corporations across the globe. Our dollars are votes. Let's not throw them away. Every product and service we purchase sends a message.

The following guides will help you find alternatives to virtually anything that you're buying now. Remember, you don't have to do it all at once. One step is better than none. Two is better.
