Ethics Based Consumerism Online

November 18th, 2009 by keen bean

It was with fair trade coffee that I made my entrance into the world of ethics-based consumerism. Candidly, it was not so much of a planned moved, as it was that I really liked the coffee. Though it was only a baby step, I concede, I had to start somewhere. Since making that move, I have taken a stronger interest in the products that I purchase. In fact, not a year goes by when I do not participate in the Fair trade Fortnight Campaign.

As such, I have become committed to the practice of only purchasing certain items if they are fair trade. This has been a staple in my world for the last 5 years, and I have no intention of ever doing otherwise. So, I am thrilled to find that I can buy coffee online and not stray from my well-advised preference. Now, I just have to work on building up my proclivity to stick to only fair trade labelled items in other categories also.
