Cheap wood products - ask why.
When choosing handcrafted wooden home décor it's easy to assume that because a product is made from wood, it's automatically sustainable.
Unfortunately, that's not always the case. Did you know ‘Fair Trade’ does not mean guaranteeing a living wage or good work conditions?
The next time you're shopping for wooden home décor, ask yourself:
where did this timber come from?
was it sourced responsibly?
who made it?
was it mass produced or handcrafted?
has the timber been chemically treated?
is the finish food safe?
These simple questions can help you make more sustainable purchasing decisions while supporting ethical craftsmanship.
