Okay, I am a tree hugger and a human rights activist, I’ll admit it.
I happened to stumble upon this cool web site about an hour ago and figured I should share. If you:
Are against unfair labor practice in 3rd world countries
Can knit/crochet a 4"x4" square in your spare time
want to join a public protest against Nike Inc and above said labor practices
then click on this site and join in

Happy New Year!
One more thing that’s less political 
If you need to buy recycled silk yarn - I found this awesome price (AND it helps charity when you shop this link)
it’s the cheapest price I’ve found (starting @ 10.95 a skein)
and you can use it for knitty.com’s Unbiased hobo bag
Happy knitting today!
Thank you for the reference for recycled silk. I bought a few skeins at my LYS for considerably more and made a dressy scarf/shawl. I get such compliments everytime I wear it. Its dressy and casual all at the same time. I want to buy more, I have lots of ideas for it. For those not familiar with this yarn - its not the easiest to work with. It twists and stretches. But I used big needles, size 17, and wehn it was done, all the inconsistencies became beautiful.
