This week's You ask, they answer is all about ethical shopping. Joining us for the week is recently merged pair of leading online eco retailers, Natural Collection and Ethicalsuperstore.com, who between them sell a range of organic food, green gadgets, fair trade fashion, ethical gifts and more. Whatever you want to ask the two, just post your question below.
The two companies have come a long way from their beginnings last decade and expect to break even on a turnover of £5-6m for the year ending June 2010. Ethicalsuperstore.com, which also operates the Guardian Eco Store, has grown from its 2004 conception in Newcastle to post record sales of £700,000 last month. Meanwhile Natural Collection went from an Oxfordshire mail order business founded in 2000 to an award-winning eco shop, repeatedly winning the Retailer of the Year category in the Observer Ethical Awards.
Both brands will be online until Friday this week to answer your questions on green and ethical consumerism.
