6tiide compiled for youngster
(CPS)- Thinking about plunking
down 550 lor a new pair of Gap
jeans? Think again, according to a
new shopping guide compiled by a
public interest research group that
gives young consumers the scoop on
politically correct purchases.
"Students Shopping 4 A Better
World,
written and published by Tbe Coun¬
cil on Economic Priorities, rates
hundreds of multinational corpora¬
tions on their
"Look at it this way: Every time
you spend a dollar o buy something
a company sells, you're sending a
mesage. You'resayingyou not only
like the company's clothes or candy
or cassettes,m you also support the
way they do business," the,book's
introduction says. / ,
For example, the guide iqkes The
Gap Inc. to task for some poor envi¬
ronmental habits (stonewashing
jeans for that trendy "Worn" look
.records on the en¬
vironment, em¬
ployment of
women and mi¬
norities and disclo¬
sure practices, as
well as taking spe¬
cial note of poli¬
cies on animal test¬
ing and testing in
South Africa.
As companies have discovered,
young people are big business. Teen¬
age Research Unlimited, a youth'
marketing think tank in Illinois, esti¬
mate that teenagers spent $93 billion
of their own money and parents'
money in 1992, according to a July
6, 1993, story in The Washington
Post
"Student^ Shopping 4 A Better
World*' is the Council on Economic
'Priorities' attempt to channel that
spending to companies thatdemon-
sirate social responsibility and to
help young people learn how to flex
their economic muscles.
Teenage Research Unlimited, a
youth marketing think tank in Illi¬
nois, estimate that teenagers spent
$93 billion of their own money and
parents' money in 1992
creates pollution because of the
chemicals involved), while praising
the company's recent recycling ef-'
fort. The Gap also owns Banana
Republic, shoe and cluldren's cloth¬
ing stores.
But the book takes a swing at the
company for refusing to release in¬
formation to th^ceSfeH, which ana¬
lyzes information about hundreds of
companies for newsletters, books
and other publication. So the guide
gives The Gap a rather dubious en¬
dorsement.
"This company will not talk to
anyone on the outside," the book
says.'The Gap calls this'not politi¬
cizing the clothes.' Just because the
company wouldn't tell us anything
does not necessarily mean it is so¬
cially irresponsible. But for a com¬
pany this big to keep secrets is irre¬
sponsible."
On the oilier hand, the council
gives high marks to Sony, saying the
company generally "works hard to
getinvolved in American communi¬
ties and to help young Americans
^___ leammore about
Japanese culture
and customs."
The guide
lists many indi¬
vidual products
such as Levi's
jeans, Coco-
Cola, York Pep¬
permint Patties,
_ McDonald's,
Wheaties and
oihei, with information about the
companies that make the products.
The book also gives tips on view¬
ing advertising more critically, in¬
formation about banks and credit
card companies, and health and safety
regulations for teen who work in
fast- food restaurants.
The council was founded in 1969
by Alice Tepper Marlin, a former
securities analyst and labor econo¬
mise at Btirnham & Co., because few
independent organizations were
keeping tabs on companies' envi¬
ronmental and hiring records.
• The council gamers information
for the. book by distributing ques¬
tionnaires to die companies, com¬
pany publications, telephone inter¬
views, libraries, government agen¬
cies and special interest groups such
as the Rain forest Action Network,
SierraClub Legal Defense Fund and
the Humane Society. After months
of research, the ratings re (hen sent to
the corporations with requests for
updates. If information is not avail¬
able or incomplete, the company
gets an T rating for that category.
More information about the
council's books and publications can

Economic Priorities, 30Irving Place,
New York, N.Y. 100009-0194.
