Socially Conscious Shopping

What is socially conscious shopping? If you care about the way your products are made and sourced, you are probably a socially conscious shopper. Socially responsible shoppers are committed to spending their money on items that are any or all of the following: produced without slave or sweatshop labor, organic, providing a living wage for workers, environmentally friendly, or supporting a progressive cause.
