Amy Kay Pavlovich shares with us how fair trade is part of her ministry and faith. Many of us are at least familiar with what fair trade is but we may not know all of the inner workings of what goes into running a fair trade shop. Amy Kay shares with us how she finds artisans for her fair trade store, Connected, in Lindsborg, Salina, and Manhattan Kansas. Amy Kay has a great sense of humor and helps us see the importance of fair trade, which can sometimes be overwhelming. One of the things that I appreciate Amy Kay saying is that sometimes we can feel paralyzed by the enormity of conscious consumerism. Even as an eco-friendly designer I often feel like I should do more. I loved that Amy Kay offers grace in imperfection and encourages listeners to just keep trying to do the best we can. I think this message is important because, truly, every little bit matters. Even if we aren’t meeting every standard of conscious consumerism it’s important to realize we can start somewhere.
