All wisdom wear is fairly traded and where indicated tees are 100% certified organic cotton. We endeavour to recycle all our office waste and we use recycled products for our marketing and packaging materials.
Where possible all items are fairly traded and as such all our suppliers guarantee they are manufactured in very good conditions and sold at a price which allows for an 8% premium that is re-invested into the producers local community” Our trading relationship with these producers helps to ensure the long term future of the small scale farming community.

Cotton is the most toxic crop in the world, it accounts for 3% of the world’s farming and yet nearly 25% of the world’s pesticides and 11% of insecticides are used in it’s cultivation…it’s estimated that up to 20,000 people die each year in the developing world as a result…which amounts to an extremely serious impact on the environment and the people whose lives revolve around its cultivation and manufacture.
The cotton t-shirt then in its turn contributes to this environmental impact, and currently most t-shirts on the market are not ecologically sound.

Connection clothing where possible are making a conscious effort to provide 100% organic cotton t-shirts.

The world will catch up.

Let’s make it our vision and it will happen.

Like attracts like.

We get what we think.

Together we can stop stinking thinking.
