Co-op America
"Every time you make a purchase, the money that leaves your
hands goes to work. Too often, this means your dollars exploit workers
here and abroad, abandon hard-hit communities and dump toxins into
our environment. But it doesn't have to be this way. Your purchases
can support businesses that create jobs, care about their communities,
engage in fair trade and protect our environment. Co-op America
helps you find those businesses and provides technical assistance
to help those companies succeed and grow."
