Ethical Gifts Spring and summer are favourite seasons for many of us and the one thing we all dislike is the mosquito invasion. A good insect repellent is an absolute must, preferably one that is not loaded with questionable chemicals. DEET, is the most commonly used insect repellent , it is a highly effective repellent that has been commonly used by since the 1960′s. But many people have sensitivities to this potent chemical and some studies have indicated it may be even be a weak neurotoxin! A very pleasant and effective alternative is now being made by a Fair-trade organisation, Lulu Life in the Sudan, it is wild harvested Shea butter with added lemon eucalyptus oil, a natural, plant-based insect repellent, which has been proven highly effective against mosquitoes. Lemon eucalyptus oil, derived from eucalyptus leaves, is a natural mosquito repellent. It has been approved as effective and safe by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and is recommended by the CDC as a means to prevent West Nile infection. A 2002 study in the New England Journal of Medicine compared different synthetic and herbal repellents and concluded that the herbal repellents that contain a high concentration of lemon eucalyptus oil were very effective. Not only is Lulu Life Shea Mosquito Repellent a natural product that is made by a Fair-trade women's organisation it has a pleasant fresh lemony fragrance - and most importantly it works! Jan 19

fairtrade embroidered bear

 

Out of a small workshop that was once an old biscuit mill factory in Cape Town, South Africa, a group of women gather each day, to embroider their life stories. On French cotton embroidered with fine colourful thread the small teddy bears hold the stories of their often complex and challenging lives. Each little embroidered bear is completely unique and a one of a kind. Detailed hand-embroidery is a labour intensive process. It takes several weeks to make a tiny bear. Through this creative outlet, small teddy bears are changed into whimsical, magical creatures and a group of women in South Africa have the opportunity to earn a dignified income.

 

recycled metal insects

Old oil cans have been cut and carefully made into these life sized tiny praying mantis. In many poor countries around the world selling crafts is the only income that some can generate. As new materials are too expensive some of the most ingenious uses of recycled materials come from these resourceful craftspeople.
These brilliant little recycled insects are made in Sth Africa from tin.
