Resources: Responsible Shopper Updates

With permission From http://www.greenamericatoday.org/


Check out our Responsible Shopper Web site for our most recently added profile, of clothing retailer H & M. On our comparison page, find out how H & M matches up against other clothing stores, and check the "Go Green" section for suggestions on your greenest options for building a sustainable wardrobe.

Visit Responsible Shopper often, for the latest developments at some of the country's largest companies, in categories like supermarkets, home improvements, appliances, oil and gas, and more.

For example, on Responsible Shopper's "recent developments" page, you can find out:

1. Which utility company just canceled five coal-fired power plants across the country. (Hint: If you've been reading your e-newsletter, you already know. Green Americans have been sounding the alarm against these plants for the past year. Thanks for keeping the pressure on – that's how we change corporate America!)

2. Which big box retailer recently settled 63 lawsuits from around the country for as much as $640 million. The lawsuits alleged the company violated US labor laws by forcing employees to work overtime, erasing hours from time cards, and denying workers lunch breaks.

3. Which giant bottled beverage company threatened to sue Miami-Dade County in Florida after the county aired public service messages informing citizens that their tap water is cheaper, safer, and purer than bottled water
