Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With every dollar you spend you have an impact on the planet and its people. We live in a time of human rights abuse, animal cruelty, genetically modified foods and the massive impact of industry on the environment. These can often seem beyond our control and quite removed from our everyday life. However, the fact is that every time we buy something, our spending dollar endorses a company and its activities, whether we are aware of it or not - whether we like it or not. By avoiding companies with a negative track record and buying products from companies who have a positive impact, we can send a strong message for change and support the practices that make our world a better place to live in. Companies need our money to stay in business - money talks, and your dollar literally is your vote. This shopping guide provides information on the environmental and social record of companies behind the brand names of common supermarket products .This is based on assessment gathered from over 25 sources including the work of organizations such as Greenpeace, Choose Cruelty Free, Corporate Monitor, Reputex, Responsible Shopper and Sustainability Victoria. This website provides more detailed information and further resources for reducing your impact by being deliberate about the things you buy. Every time you go shopping, make a difference, make your dollar count!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Global food is not a nice business. It is controlled by a small cartel of unscrupulous, profit-grubbing multinationals with little or no regard for the consumer, their workers or the planet. It is an industry riddled by safety scandals, the nutritional quality of our food is in free-fall and diet related illness has now become epidemic. Intensive agriculture is steadily destroying the planet, contaminating water and air with artificial fertilisers and pesticides, degrading farmland, causing deforestation and pumping out greenhouse gases faster than the world's entire transport system. Meanwhile Big Food's rapacious appetite for profit knows no limits as it bribes its way through the 3rd world in a huge land grab, dumping untested GM seed on a new generation of farmer-slaves. But all is not lost! A new movement of real, organic and ethical food is on the brink of a renaissance. Read on to understand how Big Food really works and how to reclaim control over our own food once again.
Download or read book Shopping with a Conscience written by Rajani Achar and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 1996 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Shopping with a conscience is a ground-breaking book (John Wiley & Sons, forthcoming May 1996) that focuses on the corporate social responsibility of major retailers and suppliers of goods and services in the Canadian marketplace. This includes 115 of Canada's largest grocery retailers, banks and trust companies, gas stations, drugstore chains, fast food chains, car rental companies, hotels and entertainment venues, and specialty retailers of hardware, sporting goods, travel and business services, office supplies and the like. Retailers are chosen for inclusion in the book with a national scope in mind: the goal is a guide of interest to shoppers, small businesspeople, and procurement professionals from coast to coast. The text will focus on reporting and analyzing comparative performance on a range of ethicalissues of most interest to Canadians. Such issues include environmental management and performance, hiring and promotion of women and minorities, job creation, and progressive community relations, as well as the percentage of Canadian ownership and decision-making of each company profiled. The tone of Shopping With a Conscience is not political correctness. Readers will not be told how to think. Rather, they'll be given the kind of data to allow them to reward the good: to make their own decisions about where to bank, shop, and rent. The approach is to provide detailed, original and useful information to make book purchasers feel good about themselves, their shopping behaviour, and the consequences of their choiceof retailer.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A deeply curious and evenhanded report on our national appetites." --The New York Times In the tradition of Fast Food Nation and The Omnivore's Dilemma, an extraordinary investigation into the human lives at the heart of the American grocery store The miracle of the supermarket has never been more apparent. Like the doctors and nurses who care for the sick, suddenly the men and women who stock our shelves and operate our warehouses are understood as 'essential' workers, providing a quality of life we all too easily take for granted. But the sad truth is that the grocery industry has been failing these workers for decades. In this page-turning expose, author Benjamin Lorr pulls back the curtain on the highly secretive grocery industry. Combining deep sourcing, immersive reporting, and sharp, often laugh-out-loud prose, Lorr leads a wild investigation, asking what does it take to run a supermarket? How does our food get on the shelves? And who suffers for our increasing demands for convenience and efficiency? In this journey: We learn the secrets of Trader Joe's success from Trader Joe himself Drive with truckers caught in a job they call "sharecropping on wheels" Break into industrial farms with activists to learn what it takes for a product to earn certification labels like "fair trade" and "free range" Follow entrepreneurs as they fight for shelf space, learning essential tips, tricks, and traps for any new food business Journey with migrants to examine shocking forced labor practices through their eyes The product of five years of research and hundreds of interviews across every level of the business, The Secret Life of Groceries is essential reading for those who want to understand our food system--delivering powerful social commentary on the inherently American quest for more and compassionate insight into the lives that provide it.
