I know some of you have been shopping for Christmas for months now and others of you are saying "Christmas shopping? It's still 2 months away!" Whenever you do shop for Christmas, I encourage you to be a conscious consumer and buy ethically this year. Yes, it does require a little more work, but consider the long term effects that your purchase could have. Buying fair trade means that artisans are getting paid properly and can put food on their table and send their kids to school. Buying products that are not made by slaves means that people are free to work and dream. Food, school, work and dream - all things we expect in our own lives and I believe that everyone around the world should be able to expect of their lives. Check out the 2012 Ethical Holiday Shopping Guide (especially Jolica's ad!) and see where you can start to make a difference this holiday season:
