EthicalShopping.info aims to provide you, the ethical consumer, with a comprehensive guide to ethical, eco-friendly, sustainable living.
Whether you’re looking for ethical alternatives of high-street fashion, organic or fairtrade food, or green gadgets to reduce your carbon footprint; there should be something on this site to help inform your decision making process.
Our posts are split into four sections:
Eco Friendly Brands covers all those companies really making a difference; they’re on the front line of the ethical consumer revolution and include such pioneers as Traidcraft and CafeDirect and more recent favouties like Kuyichi and No Sweat.
Ethical Organisations are businesses who offer more ethical ways of trading or operating than their competitors. Organisations we feature include the likes of Shared Interest, a co-operative lending society offering ethical investment in fair trade with the Third World, and Ecotricity – the world’s first green electricity company.
Ethical Retailers offer ethical consumers a wide range of products, from gifts and gadgets to groceries, and stock many Eco Friendly Brands. Some of our favourite eco eCommerce sites include EthicalSuperstore.com and Guardian Eco Store.
Green Living Blogs and magazines offer everyone from activits to enthusiasts the opportunity to find out more about living an eco-friendly lifestyle or living more sustainably. They range from multi-national, green behemoths like Treehugger to more independent minded Daisy Green Magazine; specialising in ethical fashion, beauty and inspiration for women who care about the world.
As well as our attempt at listing or compiling a comprehensive guide to ethical shopping and eco friendly living, we hope to provide you with the opportunity to give your life a new ‘greener’ outlook.
