This episode will serve as proof that I\u2019m an totally independent new media producer, and will guarantee that I never get that huge contract with a major running shoe label.\xa0\xa0 But when running shoe companies\xa0 enable their outsourced suppliers to treat their workers poorly, in unhealthy working conditions for long hours with wages that hardly allow them to feed and shelter their families\u2026they are being evil\u2026either by direction or failure.\nYou and I can support the fight for human rights and the environment every day with our dollars\u2026by purchasing products and services sold only by those companies and businesses who treat their workers with dignity and promote the basic human rights to life, liberty, freedom of expression, equality before the law and in society, the right to participate in culture, the right to food, the right to work, and the right to education along with ensuring that the production of goods does not negatively impact the environment.\nMy expose here about some of the major running shoe manufacturers in operation today will most assuredly guarantee that I will never earn millions of dollars on this podcast through an advertizing contract with any of these companies\u2026but morality dictates that I consider the big picture\u2026and I\u2019m going to do my best, in this episode of Phedippidations, to be honest, truthful and above all independent when it comes to giving you the 4-1-1 on what are, and are not responsible shoes.\nShow Links:Fdip Blog of the Week: The song \u201cNot Responsible\u201d was by Laura Clapp
