Holiday Simplicity Links

Happy holidays! Here's a few links to help out, to keep the spirit in the holiday. Voluntary simplicity is about living our values (voluntarily!). I didn't have a particularly good fair trade link but included one where you can go to "find products" and I think it's fairly broad. There's plenty more to find. I track "ten thousand villages" for example. Remember also to send back any unused catalogs to avoid increasing both paper and transportation services. I look forward to seeing some of you at our circle on January 8 (same place, same time). Happy holidays!
