Green & Fairtrade Organisations
In doing our own research we come across a whole host of informative websites on fair trade, green or eco-friencly issues. We select sites that we believe will be of use in pointing you to more resources that will help you make decisions on environmental matters. Not all of these organisations are baby related but as a consumer interested in natural living and ethical principles, you'll find some facts and figures on the environmental and human impact of our everyday lives, plus some handy hints on how we can all do more to reduce, re-use and recycle. These organisations should be your first port of call for information on environmental and Fairtrade issues.
