The pretty sweater above from People Tree is not only stylish but produced according to ethical fairtrade principles.  We hear words like Eco-fashion, ethical fashion, green and sustainable fashion as buzz words but  companies that operate on fair trade principles are a way to make a real difference in counteracting the very real negative impact of consumerism in developed nations and the destructive consequences for third world developing countries. I have recently watched a documentary called The True Cost which has changed my thinking regarding cheap throwaway fashions.
Support Fair trade products this Christmas and Holiday season and help make a real difference in the world See this page for more details:
