The day after Thanksgiving, Nov. 25, marks the busiest shopping day of the year. The Wake Up Wal-Mart campaign is encouraging people to bypass Wal-Mart and send the giant retailer a message.
But where can you shop if you want to buy products that weren't made in overseas sweatshops, or provide profits for huge corporations? Here are a few ideas:
If you live in the Twin Cities area, consider the Annual Fair Trade Craft Sale running now through Dec. 30 at the Resource Center of the Americas, 3019 Minnehaha Ave., in south Minneapolis.
Buy fair-trade items produced by artisans and cooperatives throughout the Americas and your holiday gifts will benefit more than your family and friends. Purchase ornaments, pottery, toys, bags, jewelry, scarves, wood and metal carvings, wall hangings, and more from countries throughout the Americas.
