Global Gifts

Earth Day is EVERY day when you choose Fair Trade!

by Alissa Head, Executive Director of Global Gifts Traditionally, we celebrate Earth Day in late April, but with the health of the planet being so crucial, we believe that EVERY day truly could (and should) be Earth Day. You may know that Environmental Stewardship is a Fair Trade Principle, and the products you’ll find at Global Gifts are produced and transported with sustainability in mind. Examples include: artisans salvaging and reusing materials.

But did you know… Global Gifts also operates as a green business with a focus on the environment? When you shop in our stores, you will notice we wrap your purchase in unbleached kraft paper bags, tissue paper, and boxes. If you have ever placed an order on our website, your package probably arrived carefully wrapped in reused packing materials and lovingly packaged in a recycled box.

We also have products that help you live your life more sustainably, like bamboo straws and utensils, scrap fabric lunch kits, snack bags, and produce bags, and wool felt dryer balls to reduce your laundry drying time?

Buying Fair Trade helps you lower your carbon footprint! We invite you to find ways to live more sustainably every day. Shop our Earth Day collection here: https://www.globalgiftsft. com/gift-guide/earth-day/
