This site has so many wonderful options, but I am going to outline a couple of my favorite spotlight products:
Alpaca Fur Lion Plush Toy – If you have never felt alpaca fur, now is your time! It is hands down the softest fur I have ever felt. This product is a children’s stuffed animal, made from the finest baby alpaca fur in Peru. Alpaca fur has much less of an economic impact than wool, and it is also hypoallergenic! This product is handmade by Peruvian artisans, and by purchasing one of these adorable stuffed animals you are providing families in Peru with the chance to achieve economic independence and provide for their families. Get one today!
Natural Organic Silk Scarf – A scarf light enough that it’s so perfect for any season, a border dyed with an organic herb based mixture, supporting woman of an indigenous village directly? Obviously you’ve got to have it! This scarf is made out of organic Eri, which is a special type of silk spun from the empty cocoons of silk worms. However, no worms are killed in the process and there is also no boiling involved in the process either. Eri is spun on bamboo looms, using dyes made out of turmeric and spice. By purchasing this product, you would not only be benefiting yourself, but also weavers who live in Northeast India. The organization uses only local materials and laborers, also using ecofriendly, recyclable packaging.
As you can see, these are only two products out of hundreds offer on Greenheart. Don’t miss your opportunity to change the world while doing it in style.
