Day 37: shop wisely

Whenever I'm looking for gifts or whatnots, I try to see if I can find them on a website that does more than make a profit. One of my favorites is The Hunger Site. Here, for every purchase made, they donate food to hungry people around the world. You can also choose to shop for handmade, fairly traded items from around the world. This helps fight hunger, poverty, and allows people to make a living selling their wares. And their stuff is really awesome! I was looking for some things today and bought a few gifts, a watering can made of recycled sheet metal, and some finger puppets made in Peru that I want to try to use in a children's story time. I know it's not possible to do this all the time, but I do when I can. They are affordable and fun! You can also just go to this website and click a button to donate food. For FREE!! I encourage it :)
