Green kit for the more discerning festival goers
Posted on 16th April 2008We all love to party in the fresh air but how can we go about partying with thousands of likeminded people and yet ensure we leave without a trace? The answer is really rather easy, just go online and have a gander at some of the festival eco-booty that www.ethicalsuperstore.com has to offer. How about starting with power? The brand new Solio® Magnesium Edition™ is the true daddy of the one portable solar charging world. As long as there is a bit of sun, you can rest assured that this baby will provide you with power for your iPod, phone, whatever. In fact it’s compatible with over a hundred electronic devices (£99.95)
http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/better-energy-systems/solio-magnesium-edition/ And then there was light. If you invest in an Indigo LED Wind Up Lantern then you’ll never have to make that trip to the portaloos in the dark again. No more tripping over guy ropes or getting lost on the way back. (Currently only £24.99) http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/freeplay/indigo-led-wind-up-lantern/ And now we need to talk about you. Yes, you. You need to take better care of yourself. Especially when camping and partying for 3 days straight in a muddy field. So how about some products that care for you, as well as the world around you?
Badger Balm make natural balms from simple blends that safely and gently restore balance by helping your body heal itself. We like them a lot. Especially Badger Balm Healing Balm and Badger Balm Foot Balm (£3.99 each).
The healing balm should be a staple of everyone’s outdoor kit this summer. You won't want to be without it. Great for cracked, chapped, rough and weathered skin, this is a small pot of comfort in even the harshest environments. It’s a great healing and antiseptic balm and contains Organic Aloe Vera Extract, and Essential Oil of Sweet Birch. http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/badger-balm/badger-balm-healing-balm/
If you’re poor feet are suffering from too much walking, too much rain or a long day in wellies how about treating them to a rub with Badger Balm Foot Balm. This wonder-product uses the Essential Oils of Rosemary, Organic Peppermint, Organic Balsam Fir, Eucalyptus, Organic Tea Tree & Cardamom and will help soothe and heal dry, sore, tired and aching feet, getting you back on your dancing feet quicker than ever. http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/badger-balm/badger-balm-foot-balm/ Missed a few showers? Well if the sun doesn’t have his hat on to warm your solar shower (£8.99) http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/hi-gear/hi-gear-solar-shower/ how about packing some Beaming Baby Organic Baby Wipes? They are hypoallergenic, 100% biodegradable and totally chlorine free. The integrated lotion contains over 95% organic ingredients with aloe vera and orange blossom to soothe your skin (£3.99) http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/beaming-baby/beaming-baby-organic-baby-wipes/
Be safe and make sure you pack your Fair Trade condoms this year. A royalty on each pack of Fair Trade condoms helps workers on rubber plantations benefit from fair pay, healthcare provision and pensions. The condoms meet all European standards and are £8.99 for a pack of 12. Get yours here http://www.ethicalsuperstore.com/products/fair-deal-trading/french-letter-stimulating-massage-condoms-(12-pack)/
Last but most definitely not least…set you own fashion trends this Summer with the latest Katharine Hamnett range available from August at www.ethicalsuperstore.com. Titled ‘Queen of Green’ by Vogue UK, Katharine has been trying to get the clothing industry to clean up its act for nearly twenty years. Katharine has re-launched the classic slogan prints from the eighties in a range of ethically made and 100% cotton t-shirts for men and women available in a range of colours, including the fail-safe black! (£35). The ladies peace vest dress (£35) is casual yet striking and don’t forget the ‘you’ tote bag at £35 – a must have to keep all your essential items safe.
Now all you need is your ticket! Happy festival-ing!
