    Thanks for the article, it sounds like a good program, that could be a good place to get products. Though it can also be abused by companies that are already selling refurbished and such just to make money playing on people’s sympathies. Also, like a carbon footprint can just be used to feel good about yourself. but, i guess even if that is the case it still gets people to buy things that are better for the earth.

    Luke – You’re absolutely right. There can be potential for abuse and World Of Good does have trust providers like the Fair Trade Organization that review all products and evaluate all sellers so hopefully it curbs the abuse to some degree.

    I love the purses made from recycled juice cartons available at Doy Bags. (http://doybags.com) Beautiful, fun, great gifts, great conversation starters, and a good contribution to fair trade and recycling.
