I can understand the twinge you must be feeling right now. There probably isn't any way you could make a significant change in the way you or your outsourced production company do business immediately...though I think some serious rethinking of what you produce, how and on what scale are in order.

I mean, from reading the xtracycle "be a good butterfly" propaganda I get the impression that the point is less about making money and about "doing the right thing"...however, it doesn't seem like anyone ever gets the leverage to "do the right thing" without making money first...

The answer is going to be pretty complex, but you just have to do the best you can and recognize that it's an imperfect world and changing it is a time consuming process. I'm sure you'll do your best to keep the hippies in line with their beliefs.
