The Environment: A global responsibility and a reason for the North to learn from the South

When looking at environmental footprints, we can see how some feet ..are too big.
The African feet are small. Beautifully small. How come?

La Maison Afrique would like the Fair Trade & Environment campaign to make people aware of the many environmentally friendly products made in Africa ? and at the same time reflect on the production and lifestyle in different parts of the world.

The products in La Maison Afrique’s assortment are based on local, natural raw materials or recycling of otherwise polluting waste. The production is in all stages small scale and highly manual. The final products represent artistic and craft talent. They might be used for wearing, like hats and bags. The shopping baskets handcrafted of natural materials make very good, solid replacements for plastic bags. The car models made of beer- or Coco-Cola cans make good gifts; food-for-thought. At www.la-maison-afrique.se there are many more examples to be found.

Being a Fair Trade Organization, member of IFAT, La Maison Afrique has the concern for the environment as one of its obligations. It is an obligation we like!
