I think my wife would love some of this great looking stuff. I will definitely check out Gaiam. Plus, I really like the idea of helping out developing/struggling countries. Thanks for the information, I had no idea Gaiam was such a good source for free trade products.

Fair trade may not be the solution to end poverty in the developing world, but it certainly has done more than alternative ideas or movements. Unfortunately, the credit crisis has adversely affected the fair trade movement.
Just like businesses in the North, fair trade businesses in the developing world need access to fair financing for such things as overcoming temporary shortfalls in cash flow or term loans for capital equipment.
Unfortunately there are few (if any) financing options available and as a result we are starting to see seemingly vibrant fair trade businesses beginning to fail.
Shared Interest is a co-operative lending society and world’s only 100% fair trade lender that aims to reduce poverty in the world by providing fair and just financial services. We work with fair trade businesses all over the world, both producers and buyers, providing credit to help them trade and develop. If you would like to learn how you can invest in fair trade, I would like to encourage you to visit our website or send an email to my collegaue Patrick email.

I like supporting local economies where my money is going to a good cause, plus the clothing is beautiful and looks to be crafted nicely.

Life always need some change. Here are lot of things which are attractive. There should be always new in developing countries. So that they can highlight themselves.
