About Us - Green and environmentally friendly websites recycled to make life easier
and greener
How it started
A Dozen Other Sites.Com started out as exactly that: a dozen, other websites that
might be of interest to you;
Well that's how it started out.
But the more we looked the more we found.
But we still loved the name
So we've stretched the definition of a dozen a little, but all in a good cause.
Our purpose
Recycling is an interesting and necessary concept and it's what we're doing here;
We recycle information and websites; and we match them up so that you can access
them easily.
It's not just another online marketplace, although it will certainly provide you
with purchasing options. But by providing articles of interest and linking them
to sites with related products we hope we will enlighten a broader audience to the
issues of the day and channel that audiences purchasing power to more sustainable
resellers.
The purpose of a dozen other websites started with the vision of products being
delivered just once. We read about supply chain savings and wanted to reduce the
impact of distribution and make it easier for informed consumers to find green and
ethical products. That in turn makes their life easier & greener.
Everyone's actions can have a positive impact on our shared environment so by making
sensible and ethical buying decisions we can influence what ultimately comes to
market and how it gets there. We hear a lot spoken of the customer being king. Well
let's use that power.
There has been a spectacular growth year by year in the organic, fair-trade and
green markets as people realize that their actions can help to improve their own
lot and that of the planet. Therefore we have created a dozen other sites and our
aim is to provide you with information on green related topics and to help you to
find green, organic, fair trade and ethical suppliers of everyday products & services
Articles and Suppliers are listed according to category of interest; you'll find
a brief description of what they provide and a categorization of their bona fides.
The website is free to use and you do not have to register. All products can be
bought online and delivered directly to your door, saving you time and effort, whilst
cutting down on traffic congestion, the cost of distribution and pollution.
We think it makes sense
Please have a look around ……………………………………………….
We support
We support a charitable trust called
People and Planet
so every time you purchase using a dozen other websites they will share in the proceeds
as part of the funds generated through our website will be donated to this environmental
charity.
We are all aware of climate change and carbon emissions and much of the coverage
relates to climate and weather but we often overlook the effects of and the effects
on population.
People and Planet provides a global review and internet gateway into the issues
of population, poverty, health, consumption and the environment. It is published
by Planet 21, an independent non-profit organisation and a registered British charity
recognised by the United Nations
A Dozen Other Sites.Com was founded upon principles of fair trade and ethics. By
reinvesting 25% of our profits to support a charity such as People & Planet
we hope to improve education around the world and through that, improve the Environment.
