Green Your Home

UK Aware is just nine days away, and the list of exciting exhibitors is growing faster than daffodils in spring. Here are a few that offer brilliant green products for your home. Make sure to stop by their booths at the show to check them out!



The Fair Trade Furniture Company
Although furniture cannot be officially labeled fair trade by the The Fair Trade Foundation, The Fair Trade Furniture Company uses the same criteria as their guiding principles, paying a fair price for the goods and helping improve the working conditions and lives of their suppliers in Indonesia. The company also works to minimise its environmental impact as much as possible, using sustainable materials that are environmentally harvested and avoiding carbon-intensive air freight for more eco-friendly sea transport. Their furniture is modern and unique, anything but cookie cutter. Check out their offering here.






Tami4 Filtered Water Dispensers
Bottled water may be convenient, but it’s not exactly a boon to the environment. Plastic water bottles are major sources of waste, and they take loads of energy and oil to produce. Break your bottled water habit with a Tami4 Water Filtration System for your home. Available in a range of lovely colors, Tami4 dispensers are stylish and modern—not like anything you’ve seen before. They connect directly to your mains water supply and provide filtered, chilled and boiling water at the touch of a button. See them for yourself here.
