Pretty standard flip-flops in terms of design and color (black with a grey sole), but they do not fit well. The pair that I am wearing is very loose and tends to flip and flop more than usual. I even have a size smaller than what I normally wear since flip flops run small usually. I love the FSC rubber and the fair labor practices that Autonomie works with, but a pair of flip flops needs to be semi-sturdy if you are going to be walking around in them.
I would not dare to drive with these eco-flops, but bringing them to the beach works nicely. Has anyone else actually tried these out?

Making salads is an art and I think I made a Mondrian with my creation. Mixed baby romaine and other greens with crumbled Gorgonzola cheese, grape tomatoes, Equal Exchange Cranberries and Pecans and some Italian seasoning. No dressing is even required!
The pecans are salted minimally and the cranberries are sweet and juicy for dried cranberries. The creamy Gorgonzola and the crunchy, organic pecans are just so wonderful together that I ate this salad 5 days in a row. I only like cranberries when they are dried, and these are great.
I have not been disappointed with Equal Exchange’s fair trade product thus far.

Equal Exchange offers a lot of fair trade products such as coffee, tea and chocolate. I recently sampled the Organic Milk Chocolate with Hazelnuts and the Organic Dark Chocolate with Almonds.
Both chocolate bars are wonderful. The smooth chocolate blends really well with the other flavors. The hazelnut bar is not overly full of hazelnut. It is actually just a hint of hazelnut for a super chocolately flavor. The almonds are abundant and tasty, that’s for sure. The crunchy, gluten-free chocolate bar is a keeper!
Equal Exchange redesigned their website’s store and made it more web friendly, so go check it out.
The Ethletic Sneakers are made from fair trade and sustainable materials such as sustainable harvested rubber. They are converse-looking low tops that are cute enough for me to try. I wore them for an entire day of shopping. After a few hours I felt the lack of arch getting to me. I toughed it out and did not resort to changing into my spare pair. I have since only worn these for an hour or two. I think that these flat shoes would be much more comfortable with arch insoles and will definitely give them another chance. They are cute, and green—who could ask for much more?
