Eco friendly, sustainable and ethically sourced gifts
With Christmas becoming increasingly consumeristic, the organisers set themselves the task of finding suppliers of great products who were both ‘doing no harm’ but also ‘actively doing good’. They wanted a chance for locals to easily let their consumer dollars work to increase social justice and help reduce poverty. Also, being able to see ethically produced goods and getting to hear the story behind these businesses is simply inspiring!
