eBay launched a new marketplace yesterday, World of Good. They’ve compiled products to sell that offer a positive impact on the environment as well as the people that sell there. You can search for products based on a normal product category such as, accessories, tableware, clothing, etc. and then you can filter to give you products that are
People Positive,
Eco Positive,
Animal Friendly or
Supports a Cause. A lot of the products are made from recycled materials and by artisans in impoverished sections of the world.
From their About page:
“WorldofGood.com by eBay is the world’s first online marketplace to convene thousands of People Positive and Eco Positive sellers and products all in one place, empowering you to shop in ways that align with your personal values. Respected, independent organizations verify the positive impact every product has on people and the planet. Our goal is to ensure that every choice you make here is a good one.”
I spent quite a bit of time perusing the site this evening and pulled together a sampling of some of my favorite products currently being offered:
Mexican Pilsner glasses: these would be great to serve my favorite drink, Sangria!
African tunic shirt: I can see myself throwing this on for a brunch out or an afternoon reading the Sunday paper.
Celadon elephant table set: I collect elephants so these immediately caught my eye. I like that it not only has salt and pepper but has a small cup to hold toothpicks, fondue forks or sugar if you had a small spoon.
Indian table cloth: I can see this sitting underneath the pretty blue Mexican glasses that I want. Love the pattern and the vibrant color.
Alpaca wool coat: If I had this to throw on, the impending cool temperatures wouldn’t seem so bad. I love how it has a matching scarf attached to it and the colors, so unique and soft.
Guatemalan cell phone case: the green color and pattern really attracted me to this item.
Desk: made of reclaimed wood and environmentally friendly varnish.
Child’s bank: made in El Salvador, this bank locks with a key in the door and you insert the money through the roof. A cute and different take on the traditional piggy bank.
