I’m finding the whole on-line fair-trading
a new and challenging experience. I’ve got to buy a baby shower present and
with on-line shopping you’ve got to be organized, especially with the delay
with in receiving the parcel from overseas. I struggle with the tension between
buying fairtrade from overseas knowing that all the additional postage and transportation
leaves a heavy carbon imprint. However, in reality the vast majority of
fairtrade products in their raw materials have largely travelled from the third
world and therefore it is arguable that purchasing on-line from the USA or UK
is just another leg of an already long trek. Just found the cutest little
fairtrade baby outfits on-line. I’m sure these will be a hit at the next baby
shower.
