Shopping with a conscience is more important now than ever before.
Globalization has led us to value the products we buy that are produced
worldwide, but unfortunately at a cost to many. The situation is
ironic, because it is apparent that sweatshops are completely
unnecessary for further economic development – the global economy can
sustain itself without sacrificing fair and equal standards for
workers. Half of the work is done for you, now all you need to do is go
online and shop!

And if you need a little help deciding what to buy, check out a store we like, Just Shirts.
Just Shirts is a Canadian company that believes that trade should be
beneficial for all parties involved. As part of their commitment to
fair trade, they adhere to four principles – cooperation, fair pricing,
sustainability, and transparency.  In addition to their commitment to
fair trade standards and principles, Just Shirts also dedicates any
excess resources to providing educational and social opportunities to
the children of their cooperative partners.

Selling a selection of easy to wear basic t-shirts and hoodies, the
real stand-out of Just Shirts is the array of graphic tees and hoodies.
For ladies, we like the Cityscape t-shirt, featuring the hectic urban
jungle transforming into serene countryside.

Usually wearing obvious brands and advertisements isn’t the best taste. But fair-trade is always tasteful, as is the Fairly Traded hoodies for guys.

Finally, we have a cute little t-shirt for kids, My First Bike.
