My first challenge with buying American this year was looking for one of those cardboard envelopes to send a CD to a friend (I'm sure the CD was made in China, but I already had it). The envelope I wanted was by 3m - that's an American company - good, recycled materials - good, made in Mexico - damn!
So I started looking at alternatives and found a bubble mailer by Scotch (a part of 3m) and it was made where?...In the U.S.A! woohoo! Now just a couple of pieces of cardboard cut to size and my CDs will be safely on their way....
Mission Impossible? I think not!
Oh, and even better....the envelope made in Mexico $1.24, the one made in the U.S.A. only .77cents
