It's a Blue, Blue Christmas

About a year ago a group of liberal activists put together BuyBlue. Their mission statement reads:

"BuyBlue.org supports businesses that share our progressive values and ideals. We believe in a triple bottom line: people, planet and profit. BuyBlue.org uses our power as consumers to vote with our wallets, supporting businesses that abide by sustainability, workers' rights, environmental standards, and corporate transparency. At the same time, BuyBlue.org focuses sharply on businesses that violate the essential values of a sustainable, fair and profitable society through their policies and the politicians they support."

and that they do.

Now that the Holiday shopping season is upon us and in additional to the general company listings on their site, the BuyBlue folks have put together a shopping list of companies in most product areas from whom, should you chose to invest your hard-earned dollars, you can reasonably expect a return investment into those social areas you find most compatable with your liberal philosophy.

Now that's a little something worth celebrating.
