My biggest issue in consumer politics is buying local. Luckily, Kentucky is REALLY good at branding their own products--there's a "Kentucky Proud" initiative from the Dept. of Agriculture, and they label everything from produce to barbecue sauce. Between that, farmer's markets, and my mama's garden, I buy a lot of local products.

Buying organic (real organic), buying local, avoiding superstores and fast food chains... there's really only so much one can do. Intent has to count for something, though. The union thing is a good idea.
