*Shopping With a Conscience: Finding Socially Responsible Gifts*
*Tuesday, December 6, 7:00 PM*
Community Media Center
900 San Antonio Road, Palo Alto
FREE and open to all. Wheelchair accessible.

Craig Wiesner and Derrick Kikuchi
Founders, Reach and Teach

The holiday shopping season is upon us and U.S. consumerism is in full
swing.  How can we be sure our purchases are socially responsible?  What
makes for good gifts for the activists on your list -- old, young or in
between?  How can we be sure an item really is "fair trade" or "green"?

Our guests are the founders of Reach and Teach, the peace and social
justice learning company.  Reach and Teach specializes in "teachable
moments" -- gifts that offer learning as well as amusement, that spur a
social conscience rather than just more consumerism.

In addition to exploring the ins and outs of shopping for a better world,
we'll also have a product demonstration of some of Reach and Teach's
neatest and coolest items!
