ReplyDeleteFair Indigo believes that they need to go beyond the minimum wage and see that people are making a living wage, a distinction that many people miss. I like that I can purchase from any category at Fair Indigo and know that they have already done the work to make sure I am not purchasing something made by someone who can't feed their family on what they get paid to make it for me. Thanks for this giveaway. Joobles are adorable.
ReplyDeleteFair trade is so important for good pay and workplace rules and regulations. Love pip the dog for the little boy who loves woofs woofs.

ReplyDeleteFair trade is paying employees a fair price for their labor and also paying a fair price for the products they have made. Fair trade, to me, means that sweat shops will soon be a thing of the past! My favorite item is Baby Organic Penguin Sweater - too cute!

Fair trade to me is simply the only way to live -- reimbursing people appropriately for their time, energy, and skills. That's a value I want to model for my children.

ReplyDeleteFair trade means opposing the mistreatment of our Earth's resources by avoiding products that exploit her, even if it means paying a little more. It means treating producers and the Earth fairly by being a good consumer.

Fair trade means paying someone a liveable wage rather than just the minimum required wage. To me it means if someone is willing to work hard they should be earning wages enough to live on. I love Mel the monkey. Thanks for the chance, justicecw@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteI like Icy the Penguin. I'm so glad that you showed us this safe and ethical toy. I love knowing that my baby's toys were made by people who are earning a fair wage.

ReplyDeleteFair trade just means that the workers who produce our goods are paid and treated fairly. It's important to me because I believe that's how all the people of the world should be treated. My favorite Jooble is Jiffy the Giraffe.

ReplyDeleteI like Jiffy the giraffe the best! They are all adorable, however.
ReplyDeleteFair Trade is giving farmers and workers a true living wage in exchange for their work, which can then sustain them and also create opportunities for social and economic development. It eradicates and ends sweatshops and the sweatshop mentality allowing every farmer and worker to be treated with respect and honor which then makes for a happier, saner and more peaceful world.
ReplyDeleteI soooo love all these precious Joobies, especially Pip the Dog! : ))) Beautiful! : ))
Thanks so much for this amazing give~away! : )))
leahita[at]gmail[dot]com
What a great company idea! I'd love the mooey cow. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteFair Trade matters to me because it pays workers actual living wages rather than the bare minimum (and sometimes less) so that corporations can make an even bigger profit off of goods.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Joobles are Buzzy Bee & Icy the Penguin & Mooey Cow!
