14.01.2022 T-shirts are a wardrobe staple but the story behind a cotton T-shirt is anything but basic. Cotton is one of the most important fibre crops in the global textile industry and millions of small-scale farmers in developing countries depend on cotton for their livelihoods. Being a Fairtrade farmer means the guarantee of the Fairtrade Minimum Price, which protects against volatile market prices and the additional sum of the Fairtrade Premium. The extra money cotton farmers ea...rn from the Fairtrade Premium means that they can farm more sustainably, educate their children and look after their communities. $0.07 doesn’t seem much, but it’s a great deal for cotton farmers. The Fairtrade Foundation’s new report reveals that shopping more ethically buying less and buying better, is more important than ever.

13.01.2022 In order for a social enterprise to become a WFTO member, they need to demonstrate compliance with the WFTO Fair Trade Principles which govern WFTO members. In contrast to commodity certifiers, the WFTO Guarantee System is the only international verification model that assesses the business practices and mission of social enterprises. By ensuring fair payments, social enterprises respect three core policies: Fair and Transparent Pricing which is freely negotiated between t...he buyer and the seller. Fair and equal wages. Local living wages which ensure that enough is given to the workers to afford a decent standard of living. @apsaraethicalgifts sells a range of WFTO guaranteed products online https://www.apsaraethicalgifts.com.au and from @thefairtradecove . . #FairTrade #FairTradeProducts #FairTradeSolidarity #Ethical #PeopleandPlanet #EthicalProducts #MakeYourMark #FairtradeFortnight #FairtradeCertified #choosetheworldyouwant #empowerment #sustainability #MakeADifference #apsaraethicalgifts #shopconsciously #ethicalshopping #choosefairtrade #PlanetFairTrade #fairtradefederation #wfto

08.01.2022 Did you know that there are 4.2 billion people living without access to safely managed sanitation. Living in a world without decent toilets puts people at risk of disease, pollutes the environment, and discourages girls from attending school. Toilets save lives, because human waste spreads killer diseases. Today is World Toilet Day. It is about inspiring action to tackle the global sanitation crisis and achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6: water and sanitation for all by... 2030. Flood, drought and rising sea levels threaten sanitation systems from toilets to septic tanks to treatment plants. Everyone must have sustainable sanitation that can withstand climate change and keep communities healthy and functioning. Sustainable sanitation systems make productive use of waste to safely boost agriculture and reduce and capture emissions for greener energy. Toilets, combined with clean water and good hygiene, form the strongest defence against #COVID19 and future disease outbreaks . . . #WorldToiletDay #apsaraethicalgifts #makeadifference #ethical #humanrights #humanity #empowerment #dignity #SustainableDevelopment #sdgs

08.01.2022 Do you know the face behind the labels you wear? Today, many fast fashion brands favour quantity over quality by foregoing ethical production processes, harming people and the planet.

Worryingly, many workers in garment factories are subject to poor working conditions and low levels of pay. Fair Trade purpose-driven businesses train and employ vulnerable young p...eople from different backgrounds. They work with designers and large companies both locally and globally to produce high quality textiles. From World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) People. empower. People. .

Chain stitched, using hand dyed wool and finished with a heavy cotton backing, each rug is a completely handmade piece. This project is unusual because the rug is owned by the artists, rather than licensed to a third party. A more empowering way to work, this brings many direct benefits to the ar...tists’ and their community. Control and ownership of intellectual property are also maintained. Purchase of these rugs guarantees a direct return to the Aboriginal artist and their community. These rugs have non-slip backing and a sleeve for hanging rod (61x91cm) .

02.01.2022 Today is World Bamboo Day - pretty random What’s all the fuss about bamboo? Who Gives A Crap explains that, we do it for the trees. Did you know bamboo is technically a grass? It’s the world’s fastest growing plant and some species can grow up to 3ft in one day. Woah! It takes years for most trees to reach that height which is exactly why we use bamboo as a raw material for our TP. Around the globe, virgin trees are being destroyed at an incredibly unsustainable pace. But... with bamboo, we can avoid cutting down forests that are centuries old. The Fair Trade Cove has some fair trade bamboo plant holders in store, and many more bamboo products on the way for Christmas. . . . . #apsaraethicalgifts #ethical #shopconsciously #ethicalshopping #ethicaltrade #bethechange #makeadifference #ethicallyproduced #ethicallysourcing #repurposed #sustainability #bethechange #positivity #ecofriendlyproduct Fair Trade Association Fair Trade NSW Network Group

02.01.2022 Why should you buy Fairtrade coffee? Fairtrade has a profound impact across 75 developing countries on sustainability practices, quality, and farmer livelihoods because the Fairtrade farmers own it. Farmers selling Fairtrade-certified coffee are guaranteed a minimum amount per pound. When coffee prices are higher, Fairtrade farmers also receive a higher amount. On top of that, a Fairtrade Premium per pound is paid to reinvest in the farm and the community. The Fairtr...ade third-party validation means consumers can trust it.
