SIGHT SEE: Alternative Holiday Shopping Options and Guide
The holidays are coming and thus ushers in the most materialistically driven time of the year in an already materialistic society. Be unconventional and even subversive this year by refusing to buy in to the lie of the status quo and by creating a new type of demand in the global market: a demand for products that are fairly traded and benefit the billions of people in our world that are in poverty. Or, refuse to buy material things at all and give gifts in the form of donations that will change someone's life.
