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!
(We should have awakened a decade ago .. . ..
. . . )
Let’s get with the program . . . .. help our fellow
Americans keep their jobs and create more jobs here in the U.S.A.
I
Passed this on ……… will you ?
