Clean Clothes Update

Posted on Tuesday, July 14, 2009 in Human Rights, News, Shopping Guide, Simple-Practical, Trafficking

(News update from clean clothes campaign)

“Polo Ralph Lauren, the upmarket US-based fashion giant, continues to ignore union repression and bad working conditions at one of its suppliers in Indonesia. The Mulia Knitting Factory near to Jakarta. The fashion house simply refuses to respond to the plight of workers who produce its garments.

Tommy Hilfiger, another buyer at the same clothing factory, has claimed that they have discussed the problems with the supplier, but the company has yet to take decisive action.

Support these Indonesian workers in their struggle. Send letters to Polo Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger today and forward this message to your
friends.”

Get Paid to Recycle Electronics

Posted on Saturday, July 11, 2009 in 30 minutes, Environment, Simple-Practical

YouRenew is making recycling electronics easy.

See if your electronic item is listed and get a cash quote.
Or request a specialized quote.
Send it back in pre-paid envelope or box.
It’s that easy.

Seems good if you wouldn’t have time to get a great price selling it yourself or if it is in bad shape that wouldn’t be sellable.
