a sustainable island

however, in the middle of the whole xmas-consumption hysteria, there is an island where hope still holds...
EQUAZIONE, the fair trade store here in salerno. i always try to pop in whenever i'm in town, just to check what's going on. most products are the same, or very very similar to those we sell in the weltladen in heidelberg - they're evidently distributed by the same associations. some others are different, instead. for example, they now have fair trade jeans and sneakers, which we don't have. but also, this time i found a few products that are not from fair trade, but anyway pursue a more sustainable approach, which here around is pretty hard to get: the brita water filters and, more important, draft detergents for the house, dishes, washing machine, whatever... remember i already blogged about draft detergents a few times?? now i'm so happy you can find them back home :)
just they don't advertise it on their website, and they should! so i hope my voice counts as advertisement:
I DETERSIVI ALLA SPINA A SALERNO SI TROVANO NELLA BOTTEGA EQUO-SOLIDALE EQUAZIONE IN VIA IANNELLI, GIUSTO DIETRO PIAZZA PORTANOVA!!!!!!
maybe i'll even try to drop the idea in the heidelberg one...
