Walmart Not so Bright and Shiny!

I just sent a letter to Walmart to help bring justice to falsely charged labor advocates in Bangladesh, and I hope you'll join me by doing the same.

This action is part of a campaign by the International Labor Rights Forum, calling on Walmart to compel its subcontractor and the Bangladeshi government to drop charges against Kalpona Akter, Babul Akhter, Aminul Islam, and other peaceful labor advocates. If convicted of the baseless criminal charges, these labor leaders could face lifetime in prison, or even death penalty.

Instead of respecting workers' demands for decent wages and working conditions, Walmart's subcontractor has brought falsified charges against advocates who educate workers' about their legal rights and Walmart's code of conduct.

The Right to work and organize for living wages should be a given right. Please support our fellow workers on the other side of the globe.

EcoClean Watch -Sprout

I just love the concept of these watches made of 80% + biodegradeable materials. They're constructed mostly from corn resin in the body and the band. They look pretty sweet too! Some reviews show mixed reliability, but for a $24 watch I'm willing to give it a shot and support such a bold attempt at sustainable!
