Both a Broadcasting Network and Foundation, the Dutch company LLink aims for a fair, free and sustainable world.

To keep on doing so, LLink needs to have at least 150.000 members to stay functioning. That’s why they’ve organised a competition: to make a short video that points out an environmental problem or offering solutions how to solve one!

From all entries, the best five videos are chosen and until the 20th of November you will be able to vote and pick your favourite one. By doing so, you automatically will become a LLink member and help them keep existing. The video which ends up with the most votes, will receive a €75.000 reward that enables you to realize the proposed initiative.

Have we made you curious? Check out the other four videos here. Pick your favourite & VOTE!

At the end: you’re the change you would like to see in the world!

From the 10th of October until the 18th MADE-BY organises the Dutch Week van de Duurzame Mode (Week of Sustainable Fashion). The kick off is today with the International MADE-BY Network Event in Amsterdam. Fashion brands and organizations will talk here about how to stimulate the production of organic clothes. During this week shops put their green collections in the spotlight. Red Light Fashion designers share their conscious thoughts with you and several events are planned through the country.

MADE-BY is an umbrella label that links organic producers with fashion brands, including Kuyichi. The label's main idea is that people and planet deserve a lot more respect and that both working and environmental conditions in the fashion industry need to be improved. One of their goals is to make more people aware of the possibility to buy clean, organic clothes.

By a recent published report called "The Next Step in the ethical consumer revolution", Fair Trade is HOT and in the lift. All over the world, consumers from especially Europe, USA, Australia and New Zeeland buy more fair trade products as of 2002.

Consumer market analist Nick Beevor gives the following reasons for this revolution:
"More often consumers will choose products and brands that actively make a difference, with transpanrancy and credibility. Being concerned of environment and ever changing climate contribute to the popularity of fair trade products. Consumers overthink the consequences of their actions, and mirrored by recent climate catastrophies, their concerns can be read by their buying behavior towards fair trade and organic products."

As you may guess, Kuyichi is very happy with the current development and at the same time hoping that many more will follow being more conscious in their buying behavior.
