It's hard to escape from consumerism at Christmas but your money goes further if you shop locally, sustainably and ethically Luckily you can accomplish all of these with a visit to your local #fairtrade shop (if you're in Greater Manchester or Lancashire that might be Justicia in Bolton) #Shoplocal

We're in the @socialenterpriseuk.bsky.social 2025 #GiftGuide! Our #handmade #Christmas decorations are featured. Your gift choices matter — every purchase supports real people & the planet. Be part of the #SocialEnterprise movement. #ShopWithPurpose #ShopEthical 💚

Right-wing populism sells fear. Migration is natural. Hate isn't. We're being sold a narrative of division, but we can & MUST reject it. Choose #SolidarityOverHate #HumanRights #ImmigrationMatters #ChooseHumanity #RefugeeRights

Our friends at @ethiqana.bsky.social, an ethical retailer of sustainable toys, gifts and homewares, share our commitment to making fair trade work for the people who need it most in the world.

Fair trade isn't feel-good fluff – it's about putting dignity back into global commerce. Why we choose relationships over contracts (and why 200-year-old turtle-making beats modern trade models): ethiqana.com/fair-trade-e... #FairTrade #SocEnt #GlobalTrade #Economics

Imagine if instead of firing missiles at each other we spent that money on food and housing for people
