Answering the Question, Why Organic Fair Trade Cotton?

March 24, 2010 By: Jacqueline Smith Category: Corporate Green, Discover earth, Global Understanding

There are so many labels and it is often hard to tell which label will indicate the best product or practice. This local company, Coyuchi, has three videos that explain what is happening, why and what we can change. They are compelling, each video is about 10 minutes long and the issues are clearly spelled out. Take a look.

  1. The Conventional Trap
  2. Growing Back to Organic
  3. Hope and Luxury
Fair Trade Certified—  The Fair Trade Certified label helps to ensure that farmers are paid fair, above market prices for their products. It also guarantees that farm workers are paid fairly for their labor. Buying Fair Trade Certified employs sustainable farming practices, which protects everyone’s health and helps preserve valuable ecosystems for future generations. Look for this label on coffee, teas, chocolates, bananas, sugar, cocoa and even honey, as well as imported commodities.

Location of Coyuchi: It would be fun to visit them, because Pt. Reyes Station is a little bit of heaven, but the easier method is to look at the Store Locator on the site, and pick a store near you that is selling these fine products. There is a store in Berkeley and other better bedding stores carry this line of products.
