All is Fair in Trade :: Soccer Dads {World Cup Gone Green} + 24 Hour Giveaway

This is an exciting week in many ways. We get to honor our lovely men who are true fathers and World Cup fan fare is permeating the globe. To my surprise, there is a line of fair trade, eco-friendly, and vegan soccer balls (and other sports as well including basketball and football). How cool is that?! The sports world needs a big dose of fairness, accountability, and sustainability.

I had the opportunity to speak with Scott James, the founder and owner of Fair Trade Sports. I asked him to explain why he decided to bring sustainability to the sports world?
"I want to clean up the supply chain for the entire sporting goods industry by bringing to market a positive example of what the Top 5 brands should be doing. Given that Nike is the #1 brand in the world, they can and should be leading the way to a more sustainable world, focusing on the eco and social justice aspects of their soccer balls."~Scott James

Fair Trade Sports is excited to bring North America the world’s first line of sports balls for soccer, football, basketball (and more!) that are certified green and certified Fair Trade. Like the Newman’s Own brand, all our after–tax profits are designated for children’s charities. Vegan and union made; a truly sustainable sports ball is here!

So not only are you supporting the environment, you are supporting the workers who are provided fair, equitable wages, and you get to support children focused charities. And a pick up game of soccer definitely would not hurt.
