First Question of 2010!

SHOPPING!

We all shop (or will eventually have to shop) for all sorts of things.

I want you to look at the things you or your family buys. Do you just buy them because they are convenient, cheap, or brand names?

Think: Shoes, coffee, clothing, food… et cetera.

You task for the first entry is to find an environmentally friendly/ethically made/sustainable product that YOU would buy regularly (or use often).

Write one paragraph on WHY you would buy this paragraph, and provide a link to your product (hopefully there is one available).

  7. Does it have to be ethically made/environmentally friendly? Can it just be a product that we would buy often for good reason?

  10. You post from your DASHBOARD. Do not post as a comment.

    Some people are getting a cell phone confirmation page. If you set up your own blog, I believe you can bypass that stage. Do not put in your phone number! If you create your own blog, you DO NOT HAVE TO USE IT!

    Please start getting your postings up to ensure that you know how to do it (and so they are not late!).

    The good reason you buy the product should have an environmental or sustainable focus for this post. OR it can be a Fair Trade type product.
