An earthy little place.

This article will guide you on ways to improve how we shop....because let’s face it, it’s what we do best!

Wouldn’t it be nice to buy something new, without walking away with that guilty feeling of taking advantage of our surroundings? We all want what is best for our planet, but sometimes it’s easier to just do it the care-free way, and expense is also often a problem. What many people don’t know is that people all around the world dedicate their lives to helping the world be a better, greener place for us all.

Don’t fear,  you can be one of these people too! Fortunately, more and more people are getting involved and we  now  have  shops dotted around the U.K full of eco-friendly are fair-trade  goodies that are cheap, accessible and quirky. These shops are great for gifts, clothes and student essentials, all brilliant for spreading the word, too!

Shared Earth is a shop found by Jeremy Piercy  in 1986. The store started off as a small venture in York, but was soon expanded, and now have shops dotted around the U.K; From Leeds to Cardiff to Liverpool. The great thing here is that anything you would like, you can virtually buy. A new cloth purse? A new duvet? Dream catchers? Of course! The tranquil atmosphere of the stores set every customer at ease, with friendly staff and rails of unique handmade goodies I’m sure nobody else will have. Everybody is welcome to browse, andthe  Shared Earth staff give out several free smiles, too.
