A little late for the “back to school” uniform buying frenzy, but sites to note for future use none the less. Clean Slate are a supplier of fairtrade and organic school uniform, working with schools and encouraging co-operative buying to reduce costs. Well worth a look, and why not let your children’s school know about them? And at Uniform2 you can buy and sell used school uniform, sports equipment, books and musical instruments with local parents, UK wide.

Sports balls are going green, too!
If you can’t find the right sports ball you need used, may I suggest you consider purchasing one of our new eco-friendly sports balls that are certified both Fair Trade and FSC?

Fair Trade Sports Balls with FSC Certification!
I am interested to know about how sports balls are FSC approved. Do they contain wood?
The air bladders inside each of our sports balls are made of latex. This latex now comes from our rubber tree forest in India which has been certified both FSC and Fair Trade. More info on these two posts:
