Made Fair

A *former* independent, multi-brand #ethicalfashion site now discussing what went wrong and how you can do better. Account clearly not run by a PR company.

I can’t wrap my head around ethical businesses with “bohemian” or “boho” in their names (nevermind “gypsy”). It shows lacking awareness and respect for where their items come from because it groups them into this over-arching term for anything outside white, western cultures.

Seems a bit like sustainability 101 with some solid but basic information, although a little out of date, dont think sustainable fashion has been accused of being crunchy and granola for some years now! via @BoF https://t.co/1SEZGKJHQU

Bezos gives 0.0906% to charity.

If you make $25 an hour, and drop a $20 bill on 2 gofundme's per year, you're giving more of your income to charity than the richest person on earth.

@Kim_Jenkins @Levisonwood While I've never been to Nepal, and my experience with Lonely Planet has been love/hate (as a person living/working in a tourist town) they offer some common sense advice for solo women travelers and a referral for an all-women trekking company here: https://t.co/1KEtkvajyt

By the end of the week, Nathan Phillips, Native American elder & vet, will become the villain of this story. The Covington Catholic High School kids will become the victims & heroes. This is why representation matters in media: Who are the storytellers? What stories get told?

[Made Fair @madefair_co]

No.

@EthicalHour I have huge extended family, so we do a grab bag. Last year, I got my cousin’s gift and won $50 on $25 worth of scratch cards.

An article that makes you say WHOA. Spoiler: to avoid having Facebook weaponize your brand for the political gain of idiots and ghouls, show more diversity. https://t.co/Jh75v7rrn0

It’s #GivingTuesday. On a day focused on giving back, consider giving cash. It’s efficient ($0.89 on the dollar delivered to recipients), evidence-based (165 studies and counting), and empowers poor families to define their own needs.

Artisans D’Angkor is a social enterprise based in Siem Reap. They use traditional skills like woodworking, stone masonry, and silk weaving to produce gorgeous clothing and homewares rooted in Cambodian tradition. What do you think of the silk harvesting process? Is it ethical?

[Vox @voxdotcom]

Thousands of silkworms are required to create just one pound of silk. Here's how the labor-intensive process works:

@stylewiseblog My aunt was a pastor in Utah and forgave the drunk driver who hit her head-on, and wouldn’t press charges on the condition he joined AA (he did, and is still sober as far as she knows). I’m not a Christian, myself, but I think faith provides powerful belief in people above all.
