In addition to shopping for style, color and fit, an increasing number of clothing shoppers are looking inside at the label, to see where it is made. Among them are many students who appreciate the local and global impacts of their business decisions.
One of the speakers will be Kelsey Timmerman, a native Hoosier and author of the book, "Where Am I Wearing? A Global Tour to the Countries, Factories, and People That Make Our Clothes."
That's the focus of a free, public event being presented by Indiana University's Kelley School of Business, "Check Your Label: Elements of Conscious Consumerism," next Friday, Feb. 5, at the IU Auditorium.
Five speakers will discuss successful business models that offer options for sustainable living for all workers on the supply chain, and will offer inspiring stories of operating a thriving business with a goal of social change. The program will be from 2 to 5 p.m.
