Better World Shopper

I got myself a little Christmas present today and ordered the Better World Shopper. With so many different companies, and so much to research on who is better or worse or more ethical on what issues, it makes shopping difficult. Someone could never keep up with the research.
Now there's a book that has an easy, 5 second way to avoid the reseach and help you make shopping decisions. They have over 70 categories like coffee, cosmetics, dairy products, baby products, hair care, etc.
Here's what they rank on:

HUMAN RIGHTS: sweatshops, 3rd world community exploitation, international health issues, divestment, child labor, code of conduct.

THE ENVIRONMENT: global warming, rainforest destruction, pollution, recycling, renewable energy, greenwashing, toxic waste, eco-innovations, illegal dumping, sustainable farming.

ANIMAL PROTECTION: factory farming, animal testing, humane treatment, wild animal habitat.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: family farms, local business support, volunteer efforts, sustainable growth, philanthropic donations, nonprofit alliances, establishing foundations.

SOCIAL JUSTICE : fair wages, fatalities, union busting efforts, health & safety records, discrimination based on: race, gender, age, ability, religion, sexuality, ethnicity.

The book is pocket sized and only costs $10. They also have an abbreviated version (all the same categories, but less details) for $5 that works with iPhoto. I got that version and I can't wait to make use of it. :)
