No Sweat-shops: Downbound says:

“The most effective way to combat sweatshop abuses is to participate actively with the countries hosting sweatshops, by engaging in political activism and by purchasing products made acceptably in these countries.

Downbound does business differently.

As a feminist and as a vegan, I support businesses that are beneficial to workers and animals. Most people care about other people and animals, but not everyone wants to be an activist. However, our consumption choices have power. We, as consumers, can change the world. We can demand socially, environmentally, and ethically responsible products. We can be compassionate consumers.

From the Downbound website:

The name “Downbound” represents an ideological shift:

  • Down the corporate ladder
    Every worker at every stage of producing a product must be known and cared for, without the use of sweatshops or other unfair labor methods.
  • Down the food chain
    Products must be produced without exploiting animals, and must be vegan.
  • Down to earth
    Products must be environmentally sustainable, and organic where possible.

Downbound makes it easy for you to live a vegan lifestyle. They do the research to find vegan, organic, non-sweat-shop products and make them available 24 hours a day, just a mouse click away.
