Ethical holiday choices

A good friend of mine has recently been volunteering with a new group called Fair Trade Vancouver and has forwarded me some great ideas for the holidays.  These holiday shopping suggestions offer opportunities for you to make your Holiday dollars go further. This is only a sampling of organizations that carry ethical Holiday choices - hopefully this inspires you to check out other local sustainable, fair trade and direct trade companies and organizations. Consider this idea as kindling - you can light the fire. And if you are inspired, certainly send this list of shopping suggestions along to others that matter to you.
