Seven Hopes United - The Fair Trade Registry

I am 50% hippie and 50% hard core consumer. I love to shop and I love to hug trees. Now I don't claim to be the best hippie in the world but there are some things that get my little heart a fluttering like the Fair Trade wedding registry from Seven Hopes United. To my knowledge this is the only fair trade registry option there is and we all know how many options you have when choosing to a registry or anything having to do with your wedding i.e. location, vendors ect.

What is Fair Trade?

Fair Trade is an organized social movement and market-based approach that aims to help disadvantaged producers in developing countries. Fair trade is founded on a trading partnership, based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that advocates the payment of fair wages to producers as well as social and environmental standards in areas related to the production of a wide variety of goods. It contributes to social development and economic stability by offering a means to a fair wage and securing the rights of marginalized producers and workers - especially in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East.

The Benefits of a Seven Hopes United Registry

 

The principle behind Seven Hopes United gift giving is that your gift works in two ways:

 1. You are giving the gift of hope and a future to people who need it most, in honor of someone you love.

 2. By making giving fun, innovative and convenient, your friend will feel good about the help their gift is providing.

Ten percent of the proceeds from gifts purchased from a Seven Hopes United registry are invested back into producer communities in a variety of ways, including training producers in organic and sustainable farming techniques (which helps offset worldly carbon emissions), building houses, schools, and clinics that are able to provide health care for entire communities. A mix of unique handcrafted art and earth-friendly home decor ideas, it's the kind of registry that is intended to suit not only the couple but their guests and the planet as well.
