Liberals, you do a good job telling the rest of the world what not to buy! From Wal-Mart (biggest slave-laborer in the world) to coffee to wood, everybody needs to know what is kosher and what isn't.

I heartily approve people taking the time and effort to find out what we should be buying, and protesting what we shouldn't. I have not shopped at Wal-Mart in years.

We need a seal of approval for everything!

Daniel, I am not telling you to buy anything. My intention was to make note of a well-respected humanitarian acknowledging a retailer's effort to support cooperative farmers that will, in turn, help protect and preserve some diminishing wildlife habitat.

I, personally, would prefer to use my purchasing power to buy green and eco-friendly products, and am guessing other C2'ers might be like me and be interested in an article such as this.

I highly endorse your free will and your free speech, and wish you much personal peace.

Jane Goodall is one of my heroes. I think she is a soft-spoken angel with an important purpose on this Earth. I pray she stays healthy for a looonnggg time and is able to continue making a positive difference to the health of our planet!!!
