Great book on how to make changes with coffee, chocolate and fashion!

Coffee, chocolate and fashion. These three words should be enough, but it gets better. Most of us would jump at the opportunity to contribute to positive change. Through fun and engaging stories, Jane provides guidance on how we can align our money with our values and make better purchasing decision that support the things we care about most. She introduces us to women beating the odds by escaping human trafficking, farmers fighting deforestation in Central America and Haitians making coveted art from trash. Jane shares the stories of everyday people and how they are finding solutions. The stories are inspiring and remind us all that we can work together to build the world we want to live in by voting with our dollars.
