I don’t mind purchasing items made in other countries, as long as workers are paid fairly and treated humanely. It’s hard to keep up on the modern day slavery conditions that so many big name companies support, though. The best bet for making sure I’m not supporting unethical practices is to buy American made items. Here is a list, which will be ever-evolving as I learn of more businesses, of where to purchase American made goods.
