A heads up on two reseaons to celebrate May a bit differently. Its Fairtrade Fortnight for the next two weeks. It’s aim is to get people involved in helping to tackle poverty and empower producers in developing countries, simply by choosing fair trade and Fairtrade Labelled products. If your buying fairtrade products make sure they are certified like Kowtow.
Its also NZ Music Month, so check out all the muscial events in your town and support our music industry.
Have a fun May.

Our friend Anthony sent us this in the weekend. What a cool way to cheaply and easily get people moving towards a greener lifestyle. Now that the Greens are out and the new government is anti-Kyoto it is up to us to keep NZ beautiful. We started today trying not to talk about politics but we just can’t help it as we feel passionate about our piece of paradise. Cross your fingers our nations image does not get green washed any further (e.g. 100% Pure), leaving it for future generations to worry about.
To all those people waiting for new billboard bags, they arrived on Friday so get in quick. Some have sold already, they are all one-off and only $29. We will be uploading more next week so keep an eye out in the new category.

Use them for whatever you like… things for the beach, grocery shopping, books for uni or as a fashion accessory.
