Ethical and Green

Ethical and Green have come across Eco Emporia who are committed to all things green.  The company are based in the UK and sell items made out of ‘discarded things’.  They sell their products online or you can snap something up from them as they exhibit at various events. The next ‘green fair’ is on Saturday and Eco Emporia will be selling their wares at the Big Green Fair, Whittington Village Hall, nr. Lichfield on Saturday 7th February.  The fair is aimed at people cut their carbon footprint.  If you live nearby why not check it out?

Eco Emporia will be attending the fair with a selection of their ‘desirable objects from discarded things’. Everything Eco Emporia sells is handmade by craftspeople with a passion for reusing and recycling. On offer is a range of jewellery, homeware, stationery and other green Valentine’s gift ideas for him and her.

Obsolete vinyl records are now a hit as hand-painted fruit bowls, decommissioned fire hose becomes a hot fashion accessory and worn out circuit board looks great worn out as smart cufflinks. Many of the items are one-of-a-kind and each has an interesting story to tell about what it used to be in its previous life.

This is the second Big Green Fair, organised by the Whittington & Fisherwick Environment Group (WFEG) who are helping residents work towards a low carbon future. Last year’s event attracted over 1500 visitors from Staffordshire and surrounding counties. The fair takes place from 11am-4pm at the Village Hall, Whittington, nr. Lichfield. Come and see Eco Emporia’s recycled range for yourself or visit their website at http://www.ecoemporia.com.  There really is some great stuff on there.
