More Than a Product

I met a guy a few weeks ago who is really inspirational.  Lots of people talk about doing stuff and wanting to make a difference…a few people actually do though.

Martin is not like that though. Whilst planning chapel sessions last year about the environment, I contacted LOADS of fairtrade and organic companies for help. Some replied, some were amazingly wonderful, I put Martin (http://www.freshweave.co.uk/) in that category.

He started a company selling fairtrade company so that he could really make a difference. So after a few emails back and forth and lots of assistance from him, we finally met up for a coffee (yes it was at a fairtrade place, next to Westminister Uni on Regent Street near All Souls, Langham Place).

I was fascinated by hearing by what this one man did to make a difference and I guess I just want to encourage people to let that still, small voice guide them. You never know what positive change you are about to make.
