organicclothes I also try to buy fair trade when I can. I do have a few concerns that I try to think about at the same time. If that same fair trade item can be bought from a local artisan rather than one across the globe, I would prefer to support local trade. I also worry...

how would i know if its really organic

organicclothes I agree that the organic label is the key, but there is something to be said for local relationships. Some growers are small scale and don't want to bother with the certification process. If I know the grower, and they can assure me that they are practicing...
