On being a conscientious consumer ...?
Regarding clothing, would you consider it more socially conscious and/or conscientious to buy _used_ from stores such as Goodwill and Savers and other cheap thrift stores and garage sales, or to buy _new_ from an all-American company like American Apparel?
I tend to lean toward buying used because at least you can put the money you save toward a cause of your choice (such as charity).
How about regarding food? Buying local, I suppose? Buying as much organic as possible (to discourage the use of pesticides, etc., as environmental toxins)?
I agree with your statement on putting your money towards a worthy cause. But I also think when you buy clothes from American Apparel you are putting you money to a worthy cause because they don't support sweat shops which is extremely important. When you buy from a thrift store the thrift store puts the money to good use but they clothes you just purchased could have been made in a sweat shop. so... I guess it's kind of like a catch-22. On the other hand I buy only organic food because it is so much better for the environment and yourself.

Kiteboarding (Kitesurfing) Products Profiled by American Kite Surfing Association
American Kite Surfing Association (AKSA) is the leading organization for kite surfers in North America. Founded in 2006 by two extreme sport enthusiasts, membership is anticipated to exceed 30,000 before the end of the year. The purpose of the enterprise is to bring heightened awareness to this fast-growing, dynamic, and fun sport. A vast array of information, products, and techniques are available to the visitors of the AKSA website, www.kite-surfingusa.com. After more than a decade of popularity through Europe and Australia, active North American extreme sport athletes are recognizing the maximum adrenaline rush through kite surfing.
In July of 2006, visitors to the AKSA webpage will receive information about different products available in the industry. Equipment in kitesurfing is very important when it comes to excelling in the sport and staying safe. On the other hand, style within the sport can also be important to ones image. AKSA will be profiling sunglasses and apparel for American kitesurfers. After reviewing the product, AKSA will be promoting the chosen organizations through press release and product giveaways.
These product promotion/giveaways will only be available to members of AKSA. Co-founder of AKSA, Logan Long states, "we are excited about working to promote kitesurfing organizations and make their products available to our members. AKSA wants to educate newcomers to the sport by providing information about what kinds of products are out there and where they can be found."
This dramatic interest in the athletically demanding sport has given AKSA founders encouragement about the value of their newly founded organization. AKSA is selecting various industry products to profile for kitesurfers. These products will be highlighted and profiled throughout an extensive national media outreach campaign. These selected organizations will be rewarded with outstanding product awareness and media exposure.
