I came across a supplier of Fair Trade T Shirts in a recent copy of the Big Issue. I always find this magazine a really good read and the adverts in the back are very interesting, too. It’s worth buying purely because it is a good magazine and the fact that it is doing something positive about helping the homeless is also great.

Back to those Fair Trade T Shirts. Mark Perryman of ethical T-Shirt company Philosophy Football makes some excellent comments about ethical and fair trade. He talks about the fact that evaluating a company’s ethical standards has much do with the purchaser’s views on what being ethical is all about. And that is a really good point.

Being ethical runs all the way through Marks’s business philosophy. No T-Shirts are ever thrown away, for instance. End of line leftovers are stored or donated to aid projects. He supports the Post Office being kept in the public domain and he rides to work on a company bicycle.

How refreshing is all of that!!!!

Their website is philosophyfootball.com and is well worth checking out.
