Fair Tuesday

It's that time of year again - time to be with our families, stuff ourselves with delicious Thanksgiving food, and express our gratitude for all that we have. Ironically, the day after Thanksgiving is Black Friday - which, to some, is a rampant show of unmitigated consumerism. Now, I'm not going to sit here and say that I don't take part in Black Friday... I love a good sale as much as anyone. But I do think that this day presents an opportunity for us to give back to others instead of just serving ourselves.

Enter in the answer to Black Friday -  Fair Tuesday.


Fair Tuesday was launched in 2012 by Global Goods Partners, in order to raise awareness of the fair-trade market that is so often overlooked by consumers. Their website contains a directory of companies aimed at improving communities worldwide, with a focus on environmental sustainability and the improvement of the lives of woman globally.

Here are my top ten favorite products from eco-friendly and globally conscious companies:

    Thanks for putting together a great list! We're so happy to be included, but would like to clarify some important info: our promo code. The one listed in the post must be for a different site. But, no fear, ours is an even better deal! On #FairTuesday (Dec 2nd), use code 5DAYS for 25% off purchases of $25 or more + a Free Sari Scarf. That's right, everyone is getting a free scarf on Fair Tuesday at matatraders.com.
