The Tip is 'Keep eyes open' After reading an article about items made in America I thought about how many times I make purchases without thinking. I'm usually focused on budget and needs. Prior to reading this article on made in the USA products, I rarely thought about the importance of buying made in USA products. This helps create jobs in our country. Now I keep my eyes open and I am surprised how easy it is to find American products. It only takes a few seconds to look. Now I make a point when I am shopping to search for made in America brands. By doing so, I'm able to identify more and more what products are made in America. Even with my eyes open to made in USA I can get discouraged. Sometimes store clerks don't know the country of origin which can be frustrating. If this happens use your eyes to find the origin information yourself. Look at the labels and when you find a Made in USA product tell the clerk so the next time they are asked they will know. Also, when the label is not easily seen I use the other made in America buying tips to help me find made in USA. If the store doesn't carry what you are looking for, use Made in America Secrets to find it and tell the manager about your experience at their store. When enough people are asking for made in the USA products, more stores will begin to carry products that are made here. This technique does work. I also pick and choose the stores I visit. I do this because I have found that some stores are made in America friendly while others are not. Keep your eyes open for the made in USA label and pretty soon you will be able to identify which products are made in the USA. Buying Tip Continued - Read more on Made in America Products by No Feathers Please Hello and welcome to NoFeathersPlease.com! As a flight attendant I've spent years sleeping on questionable (to put it mildly) bedding in some dusty hotel rooms. Since I have allergies, I especially wanted a healthy bedroom at home as free from irritants and dust mites as I could find. So I began a long search for bedding that was not only free of down and feathers but also hypoallergenic, chemical and pesticide free. That turned out to be much more challenging and difficult than I thought. As I've learned, there are lots of sort of organic bedding lines out there and many are not completely or truly organic, not all natural fibers (like cotton or wool), not chemical and pesticide free, or they had those darn feathers and down in them. Often they came from places that did not always practice and maintain healthy or environmentally sound growing, harvesting or manufacturing standards. It's taken some time, but I've found several wonderful, all natural, truly organic, safe and pure lines of amazing bedding and launched NoFeathersPlease.com in 2006. Not only are these lines of bedding certified organic, but manufactured to the highest standards of testing and safety available today. Most of the products are made right here in the USA from US components. So sleep better and feel doubly good about your organic bedding purchase. Not only are you purchasing amazing bedding, but each month proceeds from sales by our customers are donated to our local Project Wildlife chapter and Green America's Sustainability Circle. I love these great organic bedding products and think you will too! Thank you for purchasing from NoFeathersPlease.com, helping us give and for supporting organic living standards and USA made products! |
