After doing heaps of reseach, we are sad to announce that, to our knowledge, no big brand name companies exclusively manufacture products the fair-trade way. However, ordering a cup of joe (or a triple shot macchiato, for that matter) has never tasted better. Since its opening in 1971, Starbucks has dedicated itself to serving up delicious caffeinated goodies in a sweatfree fashion. Ethical trading and responsible growing practices aid in this feat. Visit their page Starbucks Shared Planet or view their yearly reports for further information.
Happy sipping!

Welcome!
- Hello, and welcome to your one-stop destination for sweat-free shopping. In basic terms, sweat-free shopping is purchasing items from companies that comply with moral labor standards. This blog will (happily!) guide you in your quest to shop responsibly.
Workers in sweatshops are characteristically overworked, underpaid, and unable to unionize. By purchasing items produced in sweatshops, you are enabling companies to continue their immoral practices. Remember...your dollar has a voice!
This is a brand new blog and is constantly under construction. We are eager to hear any feedback or suggestions you might have towards the improvement of this site.
Happy Shopping!
Tasha and Lindsey.
