1 World Trading Co.
Where you will find fair-trade, locally-made and "green" products in a beautiful and friendly Downtown Nashua shop.


 路 Fair-trade is commerce that seeks to create positive change, often in developing countries. It empowers poorer communities to improve their living standards in a way that is healthy and sustainable.


 路 The purchase of locally-made products keeps dollars within a local community while reducing environmental impact. This is true because the items have not been shipped to a distribution center and then re-shipped to individual stores.

 路 Environmentally-responsible products are more and more in demand as consumers seek to live a "greener" life. Come visit us for simple steps to green living.

Oak
 is a boutique in Boston for all things handmade. Buying handmade helps to build community, and establish new artisans.

Buying Handmade makes for better gift-giving.
The giver of a handmade gift has avoided the parking lots and long lines of the big chain stores in favor of something more meaningful. If the giver has purchased the gift, s/he feels the satisfaction of supporting an artist or crafter directly. The recipient of the handmade gift receives something that is one-of-a-kind, and made with care and attention that can
be seen and touched. It is the result of skill and craftsmanship that is absent in the world of large-scale manufacturing.

Safe Sippy
safe sippy
"How come the cap is plastic?" The answer is simple: No child (or adult, for that matter) wants to suck on a stainless steel straw. It hurts our teeth just thinking about it.  Safe Sippy did the next best thing. They kept contact between water and plastic to a minimum, and they insisted that all of their plastics be certified free of Bisphenol A, phthalates and DEHA. They pay for extensive independent laboratory testing on their cups to make sure they are free of these chemicals. Lastly, they make the cap out of Polypropylene, #5 plastic.
