Inspired by travels and life experience we started Small Planet Trading in 2005. SPTs a fair trade shop located in Hood River, Oregon. Running a green business, being a part of the fair trade movement, working with local artists, and sourcing eco-living goods keeps us very busy. But because we always have more to say and more stories to tell we're creating this blog to keep the conversations going. Thanks for stopping by!
We're kicking off the weekend this Friday at 5pm with the guitar tunes of John Mendez!
From 6-8pm Joshua & Priscilla Benavides join us to chat about their
coaching program, upcoming Community Ed. classes and share yummy raw
food goodies!
For twelve years, this local brother and sister team have been studying and teaching cutting-edge nutrition and lifestyle transformation technologies. As Health Counselors certified by the Institute for Integrative Nutrition, both have worked with psychotherapists, health coaches, massage therapists, and yoga practitioners to balance and vitalize their nutrition and lifestyle and explode their capacity to love and take care of themselves, their bodies, and their lives.
Day 11 of our 40 Days of Fair Trade
Clue of the day: I'm an heirloom and I protect farmers livelihoods.
Check out this video on indigenous, sustainable rice cultivation in the Philippines. The terrace farming photos are amazing! Certainly gave me a new appreciation for the blessings energy and cultural preservation that goes into the growing and harvesting of this age old rice! ~ Karen

Plus today is Common Good Thursday. Today we are featuring Kiva. 25% off all sales today will be loaned to an entrepreneur somewhere in the world.
We may be a bit off on our count of the days, but the fun hasn't stopped. We held over the last scavenger hunt clue because no one on Saturday knew that buying Fair Trade Chocolate is one great way to reduce the slave trade.
