Buying Socially Responsible

This Christmas we are encouraging you to consider buying some gifts that are socially responsible. If every person of faith purchased one fair trade gift this Christmas, it would lift 1,000,000 out of poverty for one year! Consider the following sites, when making your choice:

Full Circle Exchange (http://www.fullcircleexchange.com/eastwind):

Full Circle Coffee, Tea and Chocolate is fair trade and delicious! All packaging is recyclable and 30% of every purchase done through the Eastwind link goes to the Eastwind Youth Missions Fund. Do good, enjoy quality products and send kids on mission trips. It can’t get much better than that!

GreenSleeves

GreenSleeves is an innovative and stylish way to drink coffee and be environmentally responsible.

GreenSleeves cut down on trash and are made from bamboo. Bamboo can grow 24 inchies a day, making it a more renewable resource than other alternatives.

TOMS shoes (www.tomsshoes.com)

For every pair of TOMS Shoes that you buy another pair is given to a shoeless child in the developing world.

Common Ground

Common Ground provided over 10,000 pounds of organic, fresh produce to the Idaho Food Bank. They also train and find employment for newly arrived refugees. Your purchase of a CG farm share will enable your family to benefit from having fresh, hard to come by high-quality fruits and veggies and it will benefit a lot of other people.
