In the SAFE: Design Takes on Risk exhibition, James Patten from Tangible Media Group had a very ethical project called the Corporate Fallout detector that helps people make better choices when shopping. (The video is hilarious by the way) It's one of the projects that I liked the most after going through the whole website (And I wish I can fly to MoMA just to see the exhibition myself.) The awareness for ethical and fair trade product is heightened in the recent year. I just met a person who is a buyer for an organic shop in Seattle. She was telling me about the conference and trade-shows she attended. The accomplishment in her work, according to her, is the power she has of deciding what gets into the market. As a smaller shop, it works as a portal for new products to enter bigger franchise stores. As for her, the buyers, acts as the gatekeeper. She then gave me an organic fair traded chocolate from Sweden that suggests improvement of your skin.
