World Fair Trade Day

I heard today that it was Fair Trade Day by some people that attended a Fair Trade event in Salt Lake. I thought that WFTD was the second Saturday in May, so I looked that up and discovered that World Fair Trade Day is actually May 13, so I didn’t miss it!
Here are links to info on WFTD:

Global Exchange
Fair Trade Resource Network
Transfair USA
Lutheran World Relief
International Fair Trade Organization

At any rate, it’s good to buy Fair Trade every day and the above links are to sources that provide a lot of information about that.

Green Blogathon!!!

My job as a school teacher will prevent me from participating in this, but I hope many others will be able to. It sounds like fun and for a great cause!
————————————–
Hi fellow Green Bloggers,

Shea Gunther, the Eco-Entrepreneur and blogger behind sheagunther.

I wanted to let you know about the upcoming Green Blogathon and to encourage you to participate. I’ll be hosting it along with Jeff over at Sustainablog.

I’m gathering green bloggers together to blog for 12, 18, or 24 hours straight coming up on Friday, February 24th. Bloggers commit to making two posts an hour and to raising money for a non-profit of their
choice on a per-post pledge basis from their readers/friends/family.

You can find more details and signup for the blogathon here

Let me know if you have any questions. Even if you can’t join us, I hope you’ll consider posting about it, the more readers who see it the more money we have a chance of raising.

Cheers!
Shea

PS- I’ll be raising money to preserve rain forest through the Nature
Conservancy.

Please offer feedback on how I did by commenting on my Carnival post below. It would be helpful to know what changes I would need to make (if any) for the next time I host – which will be June 5!
