Nature’s Avenger organic herbicide
Nature’s Avenger Organic Herbvicide is a pleasant change the the toxic chemicals we have been using in our gardens for years. The majority of people probably give little thought to where it all ends up as longer as the weeds and bugs are killed. This organic herbicide is made with natural citrus-oil, is approved for use in organic production, OMRI listed and EPA registered.
The makers claim it is just as effective as the synthetic glysophate based herbicides and results appear within a couple of hours. The idea is very simple. The citrus oil stips the plant of its waxy cuticle and it ends up dehydrating. The patented technology affects the plant but doesn’t leave a lasting impact on the soil so you can be planting again within hours. Obviously it affects all plants so overspray should be avoided and protect plants that you don’t wish to kill. Emulsion technology helps you see where has been sprayed.
It is available in a 24oz ready to use spray bottle, or better still, buy the 32oz or 1 gallon concentrate and help reduce the number of containers .

Romi Hoodie by Edun
Edun was launched in spring 2005 by Ali Hewson and Bono. Their aim was to create a not-for-profit socially conscious clothing company operating under the premise of trade, not aid as a means to helping communities. This means they are helping to build sustainable communities rather than just continually handing out aid money etc. They help work with factories in a number of countries including India, Peru, Tunisia, Kenya, Uganda, Lesotho, Mauritius and Madagascar.
The item pictured is their Romi Hoodie and is made from 100% organic cotton and made in Peru. These are high fashion items worn around the world with ranges for women, men and kids. Simple t-shirts through to jeans and dresses for women and jeans, shorts and collared shirts for men.
They have an online store or the clothes are available at many retail outlets around the world. Buying these clothes helps support the sustainability of local economies where they are able to learn to provide for themselves once they are given the world stage to show their products. Edun helps facilitate this.

Organic Fairtrade certified Republica Coffee
Republica Coffee is an Australian owned company started by Jacqueline Arias. Of course it made sense for her to ensure the growers are given a fair price for their work after hearing stories from her parents about coffee farming in ancestral Colombia. All the coffee is Fairtrade certified and organic. Her philosphy is simple in that a profitable business can go hand in hand with running an ethical company.
At the time of writing there are three products on offer. Firstly the Organic Signature Blend with a full buttery body and sweet nutty chocolate notes. Second, the Organic Timor Blend an Arabica coffee sourced from the small country of Timor to the north west of Australia. A fruity aroma and subtle dark chocolate aftertaste. Finally there is the a decaffeinated blend, Peru Organic Decaf. As the name suggests, the beans are grown in the Peruvian Andes and decaffeinated using pure water and definitely no chemicals. This has a floral aroma and earthy character.
They are available at major supermarket chains plus many specialty food stores. For more information plus instructions on how to brew the perfect cup at home, visit the Republica Coffee website.
