Trade As One

Happy 40th Earth Day!
Care and respect for our planet as well as its people is very much part of the Fair Trade ethos.

One doesn’t work without the other. Trade as One, and indeed the whole Fair Trade movement, actively supports environmentally friendly farming and business practices throughout the trading chain.  Environmental sustainability is a core principle of the Fair Trade movement.
Trade as One’s consumables like coffee, tea, rice, sugar and olive oil are all organically farmed, our body care products are paraben-free and unrefined, many of our journals are paper-free, the leather in the journals comes from cruelty-free leather, our wooden products are sustainably harvested, and many of our products are made from recycled materials.  Supporting rural artisans around our planet keeps ancient communities together, and keeps traditions and crafts alive. Earth-friendly, fair trade practices allows these talented groups to thrive and to earn a living wage with dignity, and stops the flow of peoples to cities and often to the slums surrounding them.
So, this Earth Day take a walk, enjoy the view, stop and smell the roses, ride a bike, hang the washing out to dry, use a travel cup, leave the bottled water on the supermarket shelf, reduce, reuse, recycle and when you shop keep your conscience with you!
Live simply. Give generously. Buy ethically.
