Knowing the human stories behind some of the things we own, makes us realize how much we don't know about much of what we own. That's why Green Your Decor is so important! ~Lorrie Thanks for chiming in, Jennae.

So many of us take for granted the basics in life, like clean water, food and a place to live. Fair Trade products help support artisans across the world who otherwise wouldn't have access to a fair living wage. And I love reading the inspiring stories behind these products :) I’m a huge supporter of Fair Trade. So many of us take for granted the basics in life, like clean water, food and a place to live.
