I've been hit by that nausea this holiday season. it just seems like there's so much *stuff* (ie crap) in the world and people feel the need to buy it at this time of year.

I try to make ethical consumption choices too. I really try. I think what frustrates me is that people just don't realize the power they have as consumers. what if we all stopped buying anything at wal-mart? all at once?

I think people do go beyond what is just rewarding for themselves. but there are pockets of this that don't always get recognized. and most of society has a fatalistic view that they alone can't make a difference.

hmm. I might have to read this book.
