What is Shopping for Change : Consumer Activism and the Possibilities of Purchasing Power about?

Consuming With A Conscience Is One Of The Fastest Growing Forms Of Political Participation Worldwide. Every Day We Make Decisions About How To Spend Our Money And, For The Socially Conscious, These Decisions Matter. Political Consumers 'buy Green' For The Environment Or They 'buy Pink' To Combat Breast Cancer. They Boycott Taco Bell To Support Migrant Workers Or Burger King To Save The Rainforest.
