We Cast Our Dollars Like a Vote, Each Time We Shop

By Earth & Economy on August 24, 2008 3 Vote 0 Votes

Did you know that in the U.S., we could fuel 1.5 million cars for a year with the oil used in making plastic for bottled water?

Facts like this, and many others are what make the new Smart Cart Quiz so compelling: they make us stop and think—how does our purchasing power create a ripple effect that spans across the world, each time we open our wallets?

Brought to you by the folks behind a brand new eBay marketplace for socially-responsible shopping, "WorldofGood.com," this quick and catchy quiz aligns consumer choice with the notion that we cast our dollars like a vote, each time we shop.

Launching early Sept., the marketplace will bring together hundreds of ethically-minded sellers, NGO's, media, and conscious consumers.

Good Facts on Smart Cart Quiz

Wed, Oct 1 —

I think a lot people don't realize that oil is required to make most plastics. Oil is NOT renewable! There are lots of really good facts (and eco solutions) on the Smart Cart Quiz website. Thank you!

People don't realize they have to keep buying certain products just because it's right in front of them... if they really took the time to "vote" for the products they want, those products will become more available, and probably cheaper..
