Get Real: What Kind of World Are You Buying?

About me

Location Pennsylvania
Introduction Can you really change the world with your wallet? You already do. When you buy a pair of sneakers, or a burger, or a cell phone, ask yourself this: Who made it? What's in it? What's it doing to the earth, other people, and me? Start seeing the world for real--and learn how you can use your buying power for good. (Running Press Teens, 2010)
