What You Can Do To Make The World A Better Place

It's small enough to fit into a purse or a back pocket. It separates the "good guys" from the "bad guys" and turns your shopping list into a powerful statement to major corporations. It's "The Better World Shopping Guide," by Ellis Jones, a sociology teacher at University of California, Davis.

Mr. Jones' book covers categories including coffee, computers, gasline, clothing, banks, cars, and water. He profiles the best and worst companies and directs you to online resources which deal responsibly with environmental sustainability, human rights, animal protection, community involvement, and social justice.
