Yet the main issue is consumer concerns with the ethical consumption, green consumption in voluntary simplicity. IN 1999 Shaw and Clarke discovered that consumers who are looking for fair trade products have similarities in their ethical concerns. This opened a whole new perspective when it comes to fair trade.
