Recycle your ink cartridges and cell phones to benefit Arts In Reach...

Arts In Reach and 1 World Trading Co. may seem like an unlikely pair but it makes a lot of cents.

1 World Trading Co. is serving as a collection site for used ink jet cartridges and old cell phones to raise money for AIR, a nonprofit organization that builds self-esteem and resiliency in teen aged girls through art and performance workshops in Rockingham and Strafford counties.

Community members can drop off used ink jet cartridges and old cell phones along with chargers and batteries at 1 World Trading Co., 76 Congress St. AIR sends them to Planet Green, which pays AIR for each cartridge and cell phone it turns in.

You won't catch Karen or Paul out shopping at 4AM on Black Friday...

1. We would rather pay more than get caught up in the traffic and mob scenes.
2. We think that this "Gotta get a bargain" mentality is ruining our planet and our communities.
       When people have to wake up early, and fight crowds to get things at dirt cheap prices, is it because they are buying bigger things than they need, or are they buying more things than they need?  Over-consumption of material goods is a major detriment to the health of our planet.
        When consumers choose to do their holiday shopping at the "big box" stores instead of supporting the local, independent shops, they are helping to create undermine what makes a community unique and prosperous.

You know all of the reasons for supporting local, and fair trade.  Don't get caught up in the frenzy of holiday shopping, and  lose sight of your beliefs.  Shop for holiday gifts with the same thoughtful, awareness you use when shopping for food for your family or goods for your home. 

Join us at both 1 World Locations and at Mother & Child, on November 26 for: 

Green Friday.  :)

We have borrowed words from Jon Stewart and are asking you to join us in a grass roots movement to restore sanity to the busiest shopping day of the year: Shop local first, pay a fair price, experience the joy of the season, and have a cookie!!

Think Re-Cycled and Local for the holidays...

This fun 26-inch beach cruiser would look fabulous under the tree with a big red bow.
