Just in time for holiday shopping...
Thought I'd mention this new-to-me site as I hadn't heard of it until today: www.alonovo.com. It's a shopping launch-site that ranks companies by their commitments to "Social Responsibility," "Healthy Environment," "Fair Workplace," "Business Ethics," and "Customer Focus."
One cool thing is that *you* tell the site which values are most important to you and it ranks companies based on your preferences. Also, purchases through the site generate money to the non-profit group of your choise.
It is not political/partisan like www.buyblue.org.
The browsing is a bit clunky, but offers another valuable tool for comparison shopping. (Great, all I need is yet another site to consult in my quest for the best deals!)
