Christmas is known to evoke good will in people. We often get reminded through television, different campaigns and medias, that many humans are in need, in hunger and people die every day. These types of campaigns effects us in many ways, and of course we want to help by donating or doing what we can, in real christmas spirit.
The thing is, it's not only in december people are in need and it´s not only now you can make a difference.. I want to suggest an easy way for you to make a difference. By consciously buying FAIR TRADE-products as this year's Christmas-gifts to friends and family, you can actually make a difference without even making a big effort.
Fair Trade is all about... Surprise - surprise.. Fair trading! It guarantees that some of the world's poorest farmers and workers get a fair price for their products, regardless of what happens on the world market. Fair Trade also takes into account the environment in production, where approx. 75 % of the products are organic. The farmers and the workers get a fair trade bonus that they together decide about what to use on in their local society. It can for example be used to build a school or establish scholarships etc.
The range within FAIR TRADE-products is quite big, and with lot´s of categories from x. children toys to life style products or food.
I have collected some of my favorite FAIR TRADE-products, as inspiration for your Christmas Shopping.
Take a look at some of the links I found underneath, and shop consciously this year!
