Re: Where garments and other items are made

I think your intentions are good @Stylized .

 

I pay attention to where my things are made.

 

I've very stubborn and won't make many purchases based on where it's made.

 

Today, I spent quite a few hours trying to find an air purifier that was made in the USA.  No luck.

 

I especially don't want one made in China, which most are.

 

Dyson products used to be made in GB, but they've outsourced to Maylasia and India (<---huge polluter and safety of their women is a big concern to me).

 

So as of now, we'll do without an air purifier.  (I wanted one for two cats we'll be bringing here next spring.)

 

Of course I have items made in China, India and a host of other places I'd rather not.  But many items-- I had the choice to say no and that is rewarding to me.
