Does it matter if your coffee is fair trade or not? It matters--more than you might think. Julie Clawson takes us on a tour of everyday life and shows how our ordinary lifestyle choices have big implications for justice around the world. She unpacks how we get our food and clothing and shows us the surprising costs of consumer waste. How we live can make a difference not only for our own health but also for the well-being of people across the globe. The more sustainable our lifestyle, the more just our world will be. Everyday justice is one way of loving God and our neighbors. We can live more ethically, through the little and big decisions we make every day. Here's how.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>Many of us live in a world of great privilege. We also live in a culture of gluttony, and this includes our access to information, words and ideas. With the onset of technology and social media, my fear is that many of us will elevate our words and ideas--and be content and satisfied with that as our action. <em>Everyday Justice</em> is important for two very simple reasons: Justice is on the heart of God and justice needs to be pursued and lived out every day. Julie has given the larger faith community an important but inviting challenge: Do justice every day.</p>--Eugene Cho, pastor, Quest Church, Seattle, and executive director, One Day's Wages, http: //eugenecho.com and http: //onedayswages.org<br><br><p> <em>Everyday Justice</em> is informative and easy to read while offering a positive outlook on how to adjust our lives in order to affect the world for the better.</p>--Peter Moore, Youth Worker Journal, January/February 2010<br><br><p>A must for environmentally focused social issues collections.</p>--James A. Cox, Wisconsin Bookwatch, January 2010<br><br><p>A valuable introductory resource for those of us trying to weave justice-making into our daily lives.</p>--Relevant, January February 2010<br><br><p>Clawson gives practical advice and resources to aid readers in overcoming everyday injustices. Her research is extensive, and her insights are relevant. Her passion for this topic is contagious, and her advice is timely and essential. Clawson's remarks will inspire any consumer to live justly.</p>--Church Libraries, Spring 2010<br><br><p>Clawson's informative book offers a helpful approach, and a feeling of solidarity with others on the journey.</p>--Teresa Malcolm, National Catholic Reporter, August 6, 2010<br><br><p>Clawson's purpose is not to shame but to inform. She does not condemn, but asks readers to question whether our life choices are congruent with our professions of faith. She has managed to couple frankness with empathy, confrontation with humility. Repeatedly she acknowledges how insurmountable the problems appear and how overwhelming the prospect of doing anything corrective can feel. She urges readers not to panic, but to remember that the world doesn't rest on our shoulders.</p>--Martha Thomsen, Christian Week, October 1, 2010<br><br><p>I want everyone close to me to read Julie Clawson's <em>Everyday Justice, </em> a positive, insightful, practical look at global issues and living righteously as a consumer.</p>--Peter Moore, Youth Worker Journal, January/February 2010<br>
