Buy Blue

BuyBlue has a new website. It is an organization that was formed in 2004 after the election to steer purchases away from companies that donate large sums of money to The republican party and to ones that support the Democratic party. It has come to be more than that. At the new web site they offer ratings based on environmental and labor concerns. Here is their mission statement:

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.
