Questionable Navy

Vegetarian Times,  April, 2002  by Roberta L. Smith

When I received my February issue, I could not believe that the "Eco-Chic" article (p. 30) featured a jacket from Old Navy. The company that runs that chain has been widely criticized for its human rights violations, practice of deforestation and use of sweatshop labor (for more, information see www.responsibleshopper.org). I do not care if the jacket used recycled wool. Chances are the person recycling the wool was underpaid and subject to inhumane conditions.
