eBay and Fair-Trade?

Some of us might have a love/hate relationship with eBay, but it seems like they’re starting to more socially responsible. This summer they’re launching worldofgood.com as a marketplace to sell fair-trade products and educate folks on living more consciously. It’s mostly though the work of Robert Chatwani, one of their employees who took some initiative to make something happen with the support of his company. Check out the full News.com article

Right now, World Of Good is mostly a community site with discussion groups and blogs on the topic but their goal is to “create positive change through commerce, as part of a global community”. Surprisingly, it’s a good resource in its current form. And if it gets people involved and to rethink the way they live and what they buy, well I’m all for it. Even though I had the same idea – James can vouch for that :)
