Today, Lia takes you through what direct trade means (and doesn't), as well as its relationship to fair trade. She'll talk about how they're sort of like cousins, and how direct trade is, like, almost exactly like goat's milk. (No, seriously!) Lia also makes an announcement that things are going to be changing around here! Mostly, you can now expect weekly (rather than daily) episodes that are a little more in-depth. Check back every Thursday for new drops from here on out!

Special Q+A episode

Yeah, we're judging businesses. And you should, too! Ethical consumerism is possible, but first we have to name the problem. Nobody wants shoes made by children in sweat shops. (Or at least nobody good does.) Nobody (good) wants to fuck up the planet more than we already have. So let's talk about what it looks like to ask questions about the products we buy, and make sure that we're putting our money where our values are. Or else we'll judge you, too. Just saying.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/rosette. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
