I am looking for Fair Trade retailers to offer the opportunity to participate in the Third Annual Earth Day Fair at P.S. 101. The school is located in the exclusive neighborhood of Forest Hills Gardens, and the event is open, with no admission fee, to people in both the school community and the surrounding Forest Hills community. In past years we have had several hundred attendees.
The goal of this event is to promote environmental consciousness while allowing you to expand your customer base. Past years have been wildly successful for everyone involved. We are proud to feature an eco-market where vendors sell all kinds of environmentally friendly products, a plant sale so people can green their homes, and interactive presentations. Many environmental organizations have participated and have shared their unique perspectives on current issues facing the environment. Other popular attractions include a book exchange, green crafts, a bouncy tent for the kids, a movie screening, and delicious, healthy food.
Earth Day will be celebrated at P.S. 101 on April 28th, 2012, from 12:00 – 4:00 pm. The all-inclusive fee for eligible vendors remains only $40. Please let me know if you know someone would like to be considered for participation as soon as possible, as space is limited and available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Sincerely,
Laurie Kaufman
Chair
I work as a jewelry making (metal work) instructor and I have been doing a substantial amount of research to find fair trade precious metals and gems. I introduced my students to the idea that there are “conflict free” sources in terms of the materials that they can use to learn their chosen craft; (I’m aware of the complexity of the term “conflict free” when referred to metals and gems). However, I feel it is my moral obligation to acknowledge and give my students the ability to question the sources of the materials they buy.
I found a few sources but most of them require a tax ID and/or other credentials and do not sell on line and apparently they have no retailers in NYC.
Do any of you have any information about this?
I would greatly appreciate any information on this subject.
Thanks
