Green Ideas for Mother's Day
World Fair Trade Day & Mother's Day
Take the opportunity to celebrate Fair Trade with your mother by buying her a bouquet of beautiful Fair Trade Certified roses, Fair Trade Chocolate or why not? A Fair Trade Handbag. Fair Trade Products are already making a difference for women and mothers around the world and your purchase means not just fair wages, but increased employee benefits including extended maternity leave and help with childcare.
Promising Growth
A new fair trade project that just like http://www.incakids.org is self funded and strives to lift from poverty unprivileged artisans in South America.  These projects are for-profit ventures benefiting the poorest artisans in developing countries, providing them with an opportunity to get a sustainable employment and wage.
Doing Business While Doing Good
These entrepreneurs measure their gains not only in financial profit but also in the impact there are having in their communities or society in general.  Their ventures are a hybrid between non-profit and for profit businesses
Fair Trade Toys, A Safer Alternative
Fair Trade Toys are not only educational and creative; they are also safe and unique. Most of them are handmade and use natural materials just because that what is available for small craftsmen in developing countries.
Geotourism, Ecotourism Improved
Geotourism is the type of tourism that not only sustains and preservers the environment, but is also committed to respecting cultural sensitivities and building on local heritage. Geotourism enhances the geographical character of a place and community involvement is essential.
Inca Kids Finger Puppets
When Gigi sent me the set of 5 finger puppets shown here though, I was blown away...$11.00? That's it? These are hand knitted finger puppets (the penguin is my favorite) intricately detailed and perfect for storytelling.
