Post writer Kathleen Hom just published an interesting article on the
greening of sports gear. In it, Kathleen explores gear ranging from surfboards to sports balls, and pulls expert opinions from Ken Segal, a composite materials engineer at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, and Hugh Casey, former head of the materials technology division at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
After reading about the new bamboo longboards, I know what I’ll be hoping to receive for Christmas this year.
Kathleen interviewed Becky Bavinger - one of our East Coast customers - about our Fair Trade soccer balls for the article, who reported that the eco-friendly soccer balls from Fair Trade Sports played great and felt just like a normal ball. Take a read through the article when you get a few free minutes.

I saw this in the Post this morning! I was so happy that Fair Trade Sports was getting some media attention!
It’s great that our friends of the DC Stop Modern Slavery Group prmote this equipment! The group was introduced to Fair Trade Sports balls because the Emancipation Network, http://www.emancipationnetwork.org/index.html, sells these sports balls with their line of Made By Survivors crafts.
The DC Fair Trade Coalition will certainly host another sports game in the near future to promote Fair Trade Sports!
