A Fair Trade Opportunity

I spent a little time online trying to find retailers in my region that sell fair-trade clothing (jeans, specifically). That is, stuff made from organically grown cotton, and manufactured in fair working conditions.

Want to know what I found? That's right, nothing. Seattle, sure. Montreal, Toronto, even Winnipeg, yeah. Plenty of online stores to buy from, but really, who buys without trying on.

So here's my thought. THere must be room online for a site that helps a person easily find the est way to buy fair trade clothing by telling them the retail locations of such stores nearest them. OR, even better, there may be room in the Regina clothing market for a fair-trade store.

Who wants to quit their job?
