Expansion

August 5th, 2008 Sarah Posted in Business News, Fair Trade 1 Comment »

Ethics Trading is expanding!

We’ve had a shop at Climate mall where all our top selling products are listed for a while now and custom is growing. I keep adding new stock onto there so do keep wandering back for a browse.

ClimateMall is an online shopping centre focussed on ethical and green businesses. It’s a one stop shop where you can find a number of retailers, but all sharing the green, ethical and fair trade vision! If you’re a customer then please do wander along for a browse, if you’re a fellow entrepeneur who shares our priorities then please do wander along too, there are plenty of free shops going on there and it’s a great place to be.

Also for fellow business owners - I found Quassia recently. If you want to network on Quassia then there’s a sign up button on my page (link above) I look forward to seeing you either on Quassia or in Climate Mall.

I believe that keeping things local reduces the (lorry/transportation) impact of global business, it makes for a stronger local community and quite simply the giants can cope by themselves.

By choosing fairly traded products you can make a real difference on a fundamental level.
