What’s Green About Us?

Go Green: Go Global, By Purchasing Fair Trade Goods


Environmental standards must be met for a product to be considered Fair Trade. As a member of the Fair Trade Federation (FTF), we adhere to Fair Trade standards for all products.


We work with artisan partners to achieve environmental consciousness by:


1) Children and youth in the US learn to practice environmental stewardship through lessons learned from our online resources

2) Our innovative onlne school fundraising program allows students in the US to fundraise for their schools while supporting environmentally friendly products and practices

3) Handmade production processes mean products have a low carbon footprint

4) We provide product development training and support with an emphasis on sourcing sustainable and local raw materials; using recycled materials where possible; and producing products in an environmentally conscious manner

5) Many of the products available through our website are made from easily renewable plant matter, use vegetable rather than chemical dyes, or are made from recycled materials that would otherwise end up in landfills. Where this is not yet the case, we are working with artisan partners to improve processes
