Fairtrade is a trade justice movement to promote the use of labour, environmental and social standards for the production of commodities, particularly those exported from the Third World and Second World to the First World. Fairtrade standards are often voluntarily adhered to by importing firms and are enforced by governments through a combination of commercial and employment laws. There are several fairtrade monitoring organisations each leasing the rights to their respective marks artificially increasing the price without the additional revenue generated leaving the first world. Enough about the general definition, fairtrade is about each and every one us making a choice about where our products come from and how they are made. True the traditional tight fisted approaches of acquiring goods for the lowest possible price will never go away but could you go to the superstore and buy the mass produced, flat packed, industrialised crap not knowing is children have been exploited during construction with a clear conscience? If the answer is no then fairtrade is for you.

I am not the world greatest writer, anyone reading the first paragraph of this article will know I am not even a very good writer. While I was writing this article I got some inspiration and wrote a really bad poem I would like to share with you.

Wholesale Garden Furniture Poem -
As I walked thought the valley of the shadow of death I bought some wholesale garden furniture to stop for a breath. For I’ve been horrified at our plastic garden sets for so long that even my guitarist wouldn’t come round for a strum. All that plastic tack my garden didn’t deserve it, my house looked like a reclamation yard - its just not worth it.

Over recent years the wholesale garden furniture market evolved from traditional hard wood designs to softer woods. From the 50's onwards plastic emerged as the material of choice with light weight, almost disposable plastic garden furniture sets being seen around the back of homes across the country. Today’s discerning buyers are in search of something a little different to separate them from the Jones at number 42. Rugged rustic designs are all the range with Teak Root Furniture making a huge impression on the retail furniture market. The buzz word of today’s furniture market is fair trade where by the highly skilled craftsmen constructing the furniture of tomorrow are paid fairly for their labours.

What is Rustic Furniture? - Rustic is defined as countrified or characteristic of rural life. Rugged rustic designs are making unprecedented inroads into the urban furniture market with solid chunky furniture built for today to last for many tomorrows. Furniture in its simplest form with natural characteristics dictated by the form of organically grown timber are a first choice for the modern furniture buyer. Patios, gardens, living rooms, dining rooms and conservatories are being furnished with lavish natural designs on an ever increasing spiral.

What is Teak Root Furniture? - Teak root furniture is the new buzz word in garden furniture, unique individual designs are painstakingly crafted by highly skilled artisans using nature as a template to create a line of furniture where no two pieces are ever the same. There is no other style of garden furniture that can be placed next to a tree, bush, thicket or woodland and look completely in harmony with nature. Teak root furniture is a sustainable environmentally friendly range that is constructed entirely from recycled, reclaimed or otherwise discarded timber and by-products of the Javan furniture industry.

What is Celtic Furniture? - Celtic furniture is a modern interpretation on classic designs, constructed using low cost methods and materials and decorated with tribal Celtic designs. Celtic furniture has a big appeal with students due to hippy and druid trends making a comeback.
