[Feb. 27]

Harry Potter star Emma Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in the series, recently visited Bangladesh to work on her own line of clothes for the ethical Fair Trade clothing line, People Tree. She had been frustrated by the lack of Fair Trade clothing for people her age and has branded her own “Love from Emma” collection with People Tree.

“I didn’t feel that there was a huge amount of clothes out there that are Fair Trade and organic and it’s so great to give people the choice to wear something that makes the world a better place, to wear clothing that does some good. Clothes are fabulous and can transform the way someone feels about themselves and you can transform someone’s life at the same time, which is a pretty amazing thing to do.” said Emma Watson.

“In 2011 the best of fair trade clothing will hit the high streets and the catwalk, moving from the preconceived notion of fair trade clothing as hippie market material to mainstream fashion statements,” notes fairtradeclothing.org.

But what if you don’t want to freeze or melt? Don’t worry — there is still hope for you to be able to cut electric bill costs while being comfortable in your own green house.
