Guest Highlight: Leslie Garrett
Leslie Garrett is an award-winning journalist and mother of three children who frequently send her to the mall in search of snow boots, underwear or whatever else they’ve outgrown. Tired of coming home with stress headaches, she began researching how to shop with a social and environmental conscience. Convinced she wasn’t alone in her desire to make smarter, more earth-friendly purchases, she developed The Virtuous Consumer, a syndicated column about socially and environmentally responsible choices, that appears regularly in newspapers throughout North America, reaching more than a million readers. www.virtuousconsumer.com
