Links

Today I have a lot rumbling around in my head, so I am going to share with you some thought provoking links. Enjoy!

On Fair Trade
  • Chain Store Reaction - This site has a form letter that you can sign your name to, asking major brand name companies to join in the fight against human slavery/trafficking by ensuring that their products are fair trade.  It is an easy way to let companies know that ethical sourcing matters to you.  You can also see the responses from some of the companies listing their efforts in this area.
  • Trade As One - This is a company that is dedicated to selling fair trade products from around the world.  They have food, clothing, jewelry, and lots more.  You can even sign up for a fair trade basket of goodies every month which looks very tempting.  They also have a blog.
  • Fair Trade USA - This site certifies and promotes fair trade items.
On Counter-cultural Living
  • Pondering the CounterCulture Child - I could not agree more with this blog post at SortaCrunchy.  We as Christians are supposed to be in the world but not of it.  Sadly, it seems even popular church culture is often more worldly than not and teaches messages that are not scriptural.  I pray that I will be able to view the world through the lense of the Gospel, and not be swayed by false teaching whether in the world or in the church.
