One Light Bulb at a Time
A physics teacher in high
school, once told the students that while one grasshopper on the
railroad tracks wouldn't
slow a train very much, a billion of
them would. With that thought
in mind, read the
following, obviously written by a good American
..
Good idea .. . . one light bulb at a time .
. . .
Check this out . I can verify this
because I was in Lowes the other day for
some reason
and just for the heck of it I was looking at the
hose
attachments .. They were all made in
China . The next day I was in Ace
Hardware and just
for the heck of it I checked the hose
attachments
there. They were made in USA . Start looking
..
In our current economic situation, every
little thing we buy or do affects
someone else - even
their job ... So, after reading this email, I think
this
lady is on the right track . Let's get behind
her!
My grandson likes Hershey's candy . I
noticed, though, that it is marked
made in Mexico now.
I do not buy it any more.
My favorite toothpaste Colgate
is made in Mexico ... now
I have switched to Crest. You
have to read the labels on everything ..
This past
weekend I was at Kroger. I needed 60 W light bulbs and Bounce dryer sheets .
I was in the light bulb aisle, and right next
to the GE brand I normally buy was an off-brand labeled,
"Everyday Value . " I picked up both types of bulbs and compared the
stats -
they were the same except for the price
..
The GE bulbs were more money than the
Everyday Value brand but the
thing that surprised me the
most was the fact that GE was made in MEXICO
and the
Everyday Value brand was made in - get ready for this - the USA
in
a company in Cleveland , Ohio
.
So throw out the myth that you cannot find
products you use every day that
are made right here
..
So on to another aisle - Bounce Dryer Sheets
. .. . yep, you guessed it,
Bounce cost more money and is
made in Canada . The Everyday Value
brand was less money
and MADE IN THE USA ! I did laundry
yesterday
and the dryer sheets performed just like the
Bounce Free I have been using
for years and at almost
half the price!
My challenge to you is to start
reading the labels when you shop for
everyday things and
see what you can find that is made in the USA - the
job
you save may be your own or your neighbors!
If
you accept the challenge, pass this on to others in your address book
so
we can all start buying American, one light bulb at a
time! Stop buying
from overseas
companies!

ago .. . .. . . . )
