I'm sure everybody is aware about some of the severe consequences of the over use of plastic bags, however, even I was shocked to hear some of these outrageous facts:

• Ocean debris worldwide kills at least 1 million birds each year.
• About 100,000 whales, seals, turtles and other marine life are killed by plastic bags each year worldwide.
  
• Plastic is the largest source of Ocean litter.
• About 500 billion to 1 trillian plastic bags are used worlwide every year. 

By trading with Fairtrade registered companies you are halping to give back to some of the poorest communities. 

Recently, one of our cotton suppliers conducted a free eye camp within the local village. 658 people were seen and 70 eye operations were conducted. 561 received glasses. 

Without your support these camps would not be possible.
