They call their calculator a "survey." You can fine tune your survey by using the tab at the left with the gear on it. It will drill down more into the specifics of what you buy. The survey is very easy and provides jaw-dropping data on who is really behind our stuff, under all the glossy advertisements. You may be resistant to finding out this information. Know that with Owning It, you'll be part of the healing of our economic system and helping end slavery once and for all. Just to keep things real: I have 29 slaves that work for me and my one dog. I buy all organic food, nearly all of my clothing is used, I have a car, two bikes, a laptop, smart phone, external hard-drives, and I rent my home and live with my sweetie. |
