Resources for Compassionate Consuming
…as promised. Lydia came up with most of this stuff.
First of all: www.betterworldshopper.com. It rates products and companies based on how responsible they are. They have a $2 iPhone app, too (totally worth it!). This is probably the resource I use the most in daily routine.
Here is a list of some local Fair Trade stores. You can find fair trade items in many other places locally but it’s too hard to list them all! Keep your eyes open and ask store keepers if they have fair trade items. If you’re in a coffee shop, ask for fair trade coffee. If you’re in a clothes store ask if they have fair trade clothes.
