Socially Conscious Online Shopping Site: ALONOVO.COM
I heard about this on "Green America" with Mark Sussman, on AAR today.
There are discussion forums. You set your own values. Go to the site, browse around and check it out.

About the alonovo Concept
intelligent marketplace

Begin with easy to use, visually appealing web technology.

* Add a database that continuously receives trusted, accurate data about the practices of manufacturers and merchants, as well as product quality information.
* Add the ability for you to describe the attributes of social responsibility that are the most important to you.
* Add a comprehensive array of products at competitive prices.

Then comes the most important element in this entire concept... you!
Without you, alonovo.com is like a car with no driver.

When you purchase using alonovo.com, you are doing your part to send a clear message to businesses—we want blue skies, clean water, a fair and growing economy, intelligent use of our natural resources, safe and humane workplaces and sensible partnerships with local communities.

Beyond helping to shape social, environmental and political practices of businesses, you are also directly helping non-profit organizations that need funding for their critical work. We, the alonovo.com community contribute 20% of our revenue (based upon your purchases through alonovo.com) to the organizations you designate as your beneficiary organization.

This is a community we can all be proud to belong to, regardless of political perspectives and ideology.

The alonovo community: the power of millions of informed, aware and caring people acting in concert. For a better America and a better world.
