Green Shopping
http://www.green-shopping.co.ukWe are foremost a green shopping catalogue run by green people. We only want to sell genuinely practical useful or educational materials. Our products are ideally made in the UK by small companies from ethically sourced materials. If we import it is because the product cannot be sourced ‘locally’. We don’t sell greenwash ‘toys’ or goods from sweatshops. We welcome customer feedback and recommendations and we are always at the end of an email or a phone during office hours to offer a friendly and reliable service.

Twins For Peace
http://www.twinsforpeace.comInitially, we developed a one for one model: for each pair of TWINS sold, we donated a pair of shoes to a child in need. We produced the donated pair of children’s shoes in the Donation Project country to help the local economy and avoid displacing workers.
In partnership with SOS ...Enfant, we now donate medical supplies, school tuition, books and supplies to children living in impoverished countries.
Each time a sneaker is purchased another pair is donated to a child in need.
