Update. December 2011

Do it differently this Christmas!

It's easy to become lost up in the busyness, anxiety and the frenzy of over-consumption at Christmas time. How do we reclaim the essence of Christmas? One that reframes relationships as being more important than possessions and quality time more significant than the rush.

Our free online Ethical Christmas Guide is one place to start. Rather than doing your Christmas shopping at the local mega-mart, consider gift giving and festive meals an opportunity to show your commitment to living ethically. If you are looking for gifts that will make a positive difference there are many available at our online shop (see below). Of course our book is the quintessential Christmas gift!

Wishing you a relaxing and happy festive season, from the ECG team.

This new edition includes special features on cosmetics, toys, meat and beer. How does the sale of Fosters, Parmalat, P&N and half of our beef industry affect you? Keep up to date on who owns what, and who is doing what. Completely revised and updated. [more]
