SmartPlanet judgement Ethletic scores highly on every front. The FairDeal Trading Partnership pays two Fairtrade premiums and uses organic cotton and FSC-certified rubber. The trainers' robust design means they won't fall to pieces; they're comfortable, affordable and fashionable. What more could you want from a shoe?
Unless you don't like the tomboy-design, there's really nothing not to like about these pants. They're certified organic and Fairtrade and have been thought up by a company that exists to fight poverty -- not just to make money. Details such as not using packaging and Pants to Poverty's openness about everything makes us fancy these pants even more.
This t-shirt ticks nearly all our boxes: organic, fair trade, charitable, comfortable, stylish, versatile… but we do pay for it all, too. If it came in more colours than grey and had a Fairtrade certification, it would be our ideal t-shirt.
Veja Volley trainers get top marks for their cool, quality design. They also score highly in the green department by using organic cotton and supporting wild latex production in the Amazon to fight against deforestation. And the fact that they're fair trade means they are ethically correct too. A smart shoe indeed...
