A model's face is still being used to sell. Sweatshop labour will continue whether one models for them or not, but it's easy to understand why someone would not want their face supporting it. I could *maybe* believe an argument of 'sustainable capitalism' is not such a terrible thing to have one's face attached to, but it's not like they practice it (I don't believe it exists). Where do they get their cotton and other natural fibers? It's not all organic, non-organic farming = mass petroleum consumption and you can take it from there. There's plenty of reasons underneath other reasons to turn down offers like that.

Organic farming = mass petroleum consumption as well. If you are living anywhere else other that remote areas of the African wilderness or in the South American amazonian jungle, you are directly contributing to petroleum consumption and capitalism. The myth of "It's ok, I buy only organic so I'm not contributing to the global problem" is totally, completely, and utterly false. Frankly, it's just plain horse shit. Anyone who thinks otherwise is ignorant and using selective reasoning. If you are living in the US, or anywhere in Europe, you are contributing to that usage and supporting sweatshop labor. Like it or not. Frankly, I really am not currently a fan of the US. I think it is a corporate quagmire that is moving closer and closer to a police state, and trying to impose its own national interest upon the rest of the world. So I don't want to hear any crap about me being conservative or a nazi from anyone. But it has allowed both me and YOU the chance to grow up in relatively safe and nurturing environment. That was entirely due to
