Green Company Highlight: Fair Trade Sports
Although I do not play a lot of (okay, I play none) sports myself, I know that Fair Trade Sports' equipment would sure have been nice when I was younger, since my brother went through quite a few conventional balls every year. Fair Trade Sports is run by Teamsugar user FairTradeSports. The company offers fair-trade sports balls and other equipment (like frisbees and water bottles) as well as sweatshop-free athletic clothing.The Scoop on Fair Trade
"Before you've finished your breakfast this morning, you'll have relied on half the world"
- Martin Luther King

Fair Trade is a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks greater equity in international trade.
