Mother's Day - the best for everyone

"Because you're the best, today there's the best for everyone: Fairtrade for you, fairness for the world!" In the run-up to Mother's Day 2025, the German Retail Association (HDE) is expecting occasion-related sales of just over 1 billion euros. According to a recent survey, consumers most frequently reach for flowers. What if we all gave this day not just to our mothers, but to all the mothers around the world who help to make it possible for us to buy these products, whether in the flower fields or in factories, and thus made it a day of international solidarity for mothers worldwide? Unimaginable? the range of fair products on offer is more diverse than you might think. After all, German consumers are increasingly turning to fair trade products: In 2024, they spent around 35 euros per capita and year on goods with the Fairtrade seal. Admittedly, always

"There are no signposts at life's crossroads".

We are worried about our future, according to the new consumer climate index published by the Nuremberg-based research company GfK. No wonder. We are sliding from one crisis to the next. First the coronavirus pushed the climate crisis out of the headlines and now the war in Ukraine has once again pushed corona into the background. We are currently at a crossroads and wish we had a signpost, but as Charly Chaplin once aptly put it, there are no road signs on the road to the unknown. But one thing seems clear: if we take our future seriously, we need to change the direction of our economic system. But for this to happen, I am convinced that we must be able to let go of our fear that the necessary changes will make us the losers of this system. Only then can we move into a

Press release: February 20 is World Social Justice Day and the birthday of ECONOMY

February 20 is the United Nations International Social Justice Day. Putting this day in the spotlight is more necessary than ever: the wealth of the 10 richest people in the world has doubled since the beginning of the pandemic. Along the way, economic inequality reduced the income of 99 % of the world's population over the same period, and more than 160 million people have been pushed into poverty. This is according to Oxfam International's recently released "Inequality kills" report. Inequality kills because inequality contributes to the death of at least one person every four seconds. ...

The Fair Mouse - an example of why transparency in global supply chains is urgently needed

The prices we pay for products at supermarket checkouts and online stores are a lie. The ecological and social costs of overexploitation of people and nature, as is still happening today in the mines, factories and fields of Peru, are outsourced and are not reflected in the prices of the products. The supply chain law recently passed in Germany is intended to remedy this situation. But what consequences does the law have for people and nature and why is it so difficult to implement? Using the example of a simple computer mouse, I would like to give you a better understanding of the complexity of the issue: it is actually absurd that it is still necessary in the 21st century to pass a law to protect people against exploitation in the workplace. However, it reflects the sad reality that compliance with

Social Permaculture - so that ecology and justice bear fruit

As nature lovers, you are probably familiar with the concept of permaculture from your garden. There it is certainly self-evident to you that diversity is an important building block for a flourishing garden. However, permaculture is an approach that can be applied to all areas of life. It focuses on the following ethical principles: Caring for the earth, caring for people and caring for the future - this third ethic is often referred to as "fair share": Sharing surplus and reducing consumption. Permaculture takes nature as its model. Patrick Whitefield, author of The Earthcare Manual, called permaculture "the art of creating useful relationships". Here, plants in the garden are not viewed in isolation, but in terms of how they influence each other, how they interact, how we can make the most of each element, and how we can create the best possible conditions.
