Serendipity in Exeter goes Eco-friendly and Fairtrade - Make a difference and shop with the Earth in mind this holiday season at Serendipity in Exeter
Simply put, buying products that are "fairly traded" ensures that the workers who are making the product receive a livable wage, healthy working conditions, and the products are eco-friendly. This means Herrington not only supports many local artisans in the seacoast but also buys from companies who work directly with families and villages in third world countries. Over the past year she has been able to witness many success stories from Kenya, Guatamala, Peru, and Haiti due to her and her customers support of these beautiful products. Herrington knows many Americans are not aware of how buying descions can exploit the earth and workers. She knows for a fact that many popular clothing and department stores on the contrary support child labor and sweatshops, ravage natural resources, and pollute the landscape all at the expense of offering customers a "cheap" product. Herrington challenges her customers to think of the ultimate cost to the planet and its people when they do their christmas shopping this year. Thinking before we spend is one of the biggest political acts an American can make. Who and what is our precious dollar supporting. This holiday shop with the Earth in mind. Do a favor to yourself, your loved ones and this precious planet by committing to fairtrade this holiday season. Serendipity has gorgeous jewelry, hats, gloves, scarves, soy candles, endless gifts for the home, and fashionable clothing made in the USA (many out of sustainable fibers such as organic cotton, hemp, and bamboo). Come to Serendipity in downtown Exeter for a meaningful shopping experience. | |||||
