Made in the USA: My Quest to Buy American

Made in America - Conscious Consumerism from Alia Fite on Vimeo.

I have spent the past three months on a quest to buy American-made goods.  From scouring the Internet to examining clothing labels at boutiques and produce labels at grocery stores, I have learned that finding American products on a budget is not easy.  But after speaking with entrepreneurs that are trying to change the way consumers shop, I am now willing to pay a premium on products--that is, of course, as long as it is within my budget.  This type of change in buying habits is part of the era of the conscious consumer.  It may be fairly new, but it's definitely here to stay.
