i would like to throw this question to you guys, would you buy products from an eco-enterprise?
i have met someone who owns and eco-enterprise. an eco-enterprise is a business that is concerned about the environment that is why their materials and processes are eco=friendly. they are also fair wage givers and they not only give livelihood to the people in their community but they get fair wages and even great benefits.
they produce really good quality home wares, furnishings, gift items and other stuff made of indigenous materials. the problem is, their wares are a bit pricey for the local market. they are good for export though. many foreigners really like their products because of the superb craftsmanship. and of course, they are a company with a heart.
if i can afford it, i would really like to buy their products because i know that the owner is not out to enrich himself but to help other people. i know that if i buy their products and promote them, i am helping people and their families.
however, at this point, i am also cash strapped and every penny that comes in is valuable. i could not afford to splurge on the luxury items that they sell. my money goes mainly to my daughter's expenses, nutritious food, milk, diapers, vitamins, and of course insurance.
so i guess it depends on your status in life. so how about you? would you buy these kinds of products?
thanks for your reply and God bless you!

Hi there spoiled311...
Well definitely, I would go buy their products since I am also somehow a nature lover... xD
But, if I really don't have the money to spend, I would just support them and have eco-friendly products created on my own bare hands... xD
