Earth Day 2010 – The Eco Store is launched
Today (22nd April) is Earth Day and we would like to welcome you to our new Eco Store, where you will find many great Fair Trade products which are Eco-friendly too! Everything from Bags, Purses, Jewellery and Stationery, to Household & Homeware products.
So what does environmentally or eco-friendly mean?
How we live our life affects our environment. To us, being environmentally or eco friendly means not wasting precious resources and choosing goods and services considered to have a lower impact on the environment.
The word “eco” comes from the ancient Greek word ‘oikos’ meaning house, or the Latin ‘oeco’ meaning household. Mostly used as a prefix, it is added to an existing word to create another word with new meaning, mostly related to ecology. For example, eco-system, eco-tourism, eco-label etc, suggesting that a product is less damaging to the environment.
Ecology is the study of the detrimental affects of modern civilization on the environment, with a view toward prevention or reversal through conservation.
Here at the THE FAIR TRADE STORE we are pretty eco conscious. Where possible, we Reduce, Re-use and Recycle in our warehouse and office. We care about the environment. As such, we use recycled or sustainably produced materials as much as possible carefully select a range of products that display many of these characteristics.
Have a great Earth Day.
