The way we spend our money -- which includes not spending any at all -- sends a powerful message to manufacturers to change the way they do business if they want our business!

I appreciate the suggestions on your blog and the added dimension they bring to the entire arena of sustainability.

If you only knit, try crochet, and vice versa. Or hunt down some other obscure craft you can incorporate your yarn into.
