I’m sure you didn’t forget that Valentine’s Day is tomorrow February 14th…right? But, if by chance you did, consider purchasing a gift that is both ethical and generous – not only to your special someone, but to others around the nation and globe. Sure, it may cost a bit more to purchase gifts that are fair trade or sold by nonprofits, but as consumers we have a choice regarding how to use our spending power; and we can choose to use it for good.
