Mark asks…
Do you buy natural, organic, free range, and USDA approved products and food?
Do you and your family buy things with natural ingredients and that are organic? Do you buy free range chickens? Do you buy USDA approved meat? Do you buy cosmetics that were NOT tested on animals? Do you buy eco–friendly products?
Just wondering if people are trying to save the environment and animals!
I also use Swheat Scoop, a litter made from shredded wheat!! It is super bio-degradable and landfill-friendly. If anyone has cats, please use it as your litter!
The Expert answers:
1. All my vegetables are organic from local farms shops.
2. I only ever buy free range eggs.
3. I’m a vegetarian so I don’t eat any meat.
4. Honestly, I’m not sure. Thanks for the idea though, I’ll check that out but I only really use shampoo, toothpaste, that sort of thing.
5. I always buy recycled toilet paper and kitchen roll and look out for eco friendly producys wherever I can.
I also recyle pretty much everything.
Thanks for the question, it’s nice to know others are thinging about the environment too.

Sandy asks…
Is fair trade any more eco-friendly than non-fair trade products? Give reason please :)?
The Expert answers:
Yes and no, sorry.
Why the answer is, by definition, no.
Fair-trade is in reference to the wages and working conditions that the laborers undergo while creating the product. There’s nothing in fair trade, however, that says people can’t be fairly paid to do a job that creates lots of pollution and is harmful to the environment.
Why the answer is actually yes.
Fair-trade is part of a broader more liberal social movement that is more about small business, sustainability, and other hippie-type stuff. It is much more likely for fair trade organization and fair trade workers to support environmental sustainability. Many fair trade organizations will explicitly address this by incorporating environmental standards when certifying companies for fair trade status.

The Expert answers:
Fair trade usually refers to food, so I’ll talk about it that way here. Fair trade food means that the farmers who grew the food were payed fair amounts of money, and that th company selling doesn’t get as much money. A lot o fair trade products are Natural/organic, mostly because the people selling it care more about healthy food and good working conditions then other companys, witch tend to care more about profits.
