No......8.....Shopping 4 EffectYou don't need to feel guilty about spending your ca$h. Just don't spend it on products that were manufactured in a sweatshop in a developing country. Do your research find out were products are made and who made them. Choose fair trade if its on offer. Make sure your office or school offers fair trade coffee or tea.

One thing alot of people are doing at Christmas etc is buying or making handmade gifts rather than manufactured, that way they know for sure they are not unknowingly supporting a sweatshop
