‘Coffins, Cats and Fair Trade Sex Toys’ is a light-hearted look at what fair trade means to different individuals.
This is the story of Jeremy Piercy, founder of the fair trade retailer Shared Earth, and is packed full of stories ranging from the supplier who made a lathe from an old washing machine in Sri Lanka, to the peasants who gave him roast guinea pig for lunch in Ecuador, and to the house with the tree growing through it in India.
s well as such whimsical tales, ‘Coffins, Cats and Fair Trade Sex Toys’ charts the incredible success and growth of the Shared Earth business from a little known shop in York to a nationally successful enterprise. It asks crucial questions too: Is fair trade a long term trend or a short term fashion? Will there be a fair trade label for crafts as well as food? Is global warming a more important problem than poverty?
Take a look at these critical issues through the eyes of one of the pioneers of the movement, and arm yourself with the most up-to-date facts and finer details of international fair trade.
