I learned that currently, fair trade apparel largely consists of small shops selling indigenous clothing but is beginning to expand beyond this niche market. Please enter me into the contest for Icy the Penguin. Thanks!

It is about paying workers fair wages rather than minimum ones. I would like pip the dog.

It’s great that they are paying fair wages instead of just minimum wages to the people who manufacture their products.

I’d love Bella the Bunny or Icy the penguin

Fair trade started in Europe, which I didn’t know, but that doesn’t hugely surprise me. My favorite is Mel the Monkey, followed by Mooey Cow. Thanks!

I learned that “With the exception of Fair Indigo, teen retailer American Apparel is the only major brand selling “sweatshop–free” clothing in the United States.” I wish more US companies were following fair trade.

My favorites are Buzzy Bug and Jiffy the Giraffe.

Thanks so much!
