How Does Your Website Help?
By using the profit made from website services, Organic Thought operates social and environmental projects that bring upon social change. The goal is to provide the community website services, leave as small of an ecological footprint as possible during the process, and use the profit from the service to address social and community needs. Below is a list of the current initiatives that Organic Thought has undertaken:

Globalization has certainly bennefited many people around the globe, but there are still some families and communities who are left disadvantaged. These families are left crippled as their only skill, spinning wool and knitting, has become obsolete and unwanted. Demand for their handmade products has declined dramatically as big companies from Canada and the US have created a more desirable demand for industrialized/brand name products. The impact is even more dramatic once you consider these families have no other skill, will have no oppurtunity to learn new skills. and will have no other oppurtunity to earn an income. Project Fair Trade is an Organic Thought initiative that sells and markets these handmade products to the international community. The goal is to allow these families to sell their handmade products in outside markets; the very same outside markets that have entered and dominated their own markets.

Green Energy Web Design is an initiative undertaken by Organic Thought. The goal is to promote and conduct business that is environmentally responsible. Organic Thought offsets the carbon emissions produced by the creation of the clients web site and the hosting of the clients web site on internet. That means the amount of energy that was used to power the web site and web server, an equal amount of renewable, greenhouse gas free energy is injected into the power grid. Carbon credits are purchased from MyClimate, a Gold standard certified carbon credit company, to offset the ecological foot print. The projects are also operated by disadvantaged communities.
