]]> The last weekend of August welcomes a new market to East London with a difference.   Running twice a year, The Bit Beyond features  social enterprises and ethical start-ups  that are all determined to contribute to the greater good – and they’re doing a mighty fine job too.  Take  Give Me Tap – they sell water bottles that support water projects in Africa and Jollie’s Socks give away a pair to homeless shelters for every pair they sell.  The day will also feature  healthy treats, ethical fashion and handmade products all up for grabs,  offering you plenty of cool wares to take home while giving you the chance to do your bit for society too.   The market, based inside Spitalfields Church, Commercial Street, runs from 12:30-5pm and for more info visit www.thebitbeyond.co.uk.  You can check out pics from last year’s market below:

]]> As spring starts to emerge,  there’s now more of a reason to reconnect with mother nature and consider green living – so expect a little help from Spitalfields’ new Keen Green and Ethical Trade market.

Trading every Tuesday and Wednesday, the weekly market – which has been touring the country since 2007 and now makes its way to London – encourages practical energy and money-saving, offering eco-friendly inventions and initiatives to help you along to way. Fresh food and eco-fashion is also available (you could be rocking a recycled tyre on your arm!), while there’s homegrown arts, crafts & home furnishings and unique wares from Thailand, Vietnam, Nepal, India, and South America. There’s also a chance to support Cambodian welfare projects with your purchase, so pop round the next time you’re in the city, as it’s a great opportunity to make a difference and maintain a greener peace of mind.

Here’s what you can expect from the market (as listed on the website):

  • A commitment to sustainability within local communities
  • Local and regional eco-friendly initiatives
  • Healthy, informed eating through clearly traceable ingredients
  • A buy local policy – we ask that our hot food stalls buy their ingredients locally
  • Ethical trading policies both at home and abroad
  • Focus on small business at home and among developing nations
  • Eco-friendly practices
  • Recycling
  • Plastic bag free environment
  • Product background information indicating value and validity
  • Promotion of ‘traditional’ arts, crafts, clothing, jewellery, food and drink
