Wal-Mart, It's 97% china stuff. Most of our american jobs are over there too. I'll pay a little more for something at another place. I try to buy all american made stuff, but, some things have to come from other countries. Just not china

RFLMAO - the perfect revenge is to have one call you, and let him go on and on and on. After a while, you pick the phone back up, wait for them to finally take a breath, and THEN tell them that they have reached a number that is overseas and their supervisor will be thrilled when they find out that they just incurred a bill of over $100 for a big fat NO THANKS.

so many do not really appreicate the effect a single consumer has.

Which is so sad ...it reeks of same apathetic approach to voting in America.

so many individual Americans believe they cannot change anything...

is it low self esteem????

not sure i'd use the term "boycott", but i don't use anything made out of animal products, nor anything that is tested on animals.

The majority of these huge almighty powerful companies are guilty of raping the rainforests and exploitation of third world countries purely for profit.

I guess I worded that wrongly about my car, I apologise. I didn't mean a green-coloured car, I meant green as in ecologically or environmentally friendly (well, as much as it can be, I guess). In this country you cannot drive a car unless it passes an MOT test which you cannot get if you are kicking out too many carbon emissions, plus it only takes unleaded petrol. Not entirely the answer, but as best as it can get until we are all driving totally non-petrol cars. I believe its not far away...........
