The Shared Earth shop in Leeds has relocated to larger premises. The address is 40 Woodhouse Lane, Leeds LS2 8LX. Click here to find on a map. It is located in between the newly opened Wilkinsons and Costa Coffee, and opposite Yates pub. Our team of hard-working shop refitters have spent the last few weeks converting a "shell" into our latest branded shop. | |||||||||||||||||

| In an attempt to reduce waste, Shared Earth now charges for paper bags in our shops. The profits from the sale of these bags will go to Asha Handicrafts in India, to fund a tree-planting scheme - a sustainable managed forest of shesham wood trees. The main cost initially is the cost of the land. Eventually, the wood will be used to make our wooden crafts. We will then be able to say that the sourcing of the wood is fair trade, as well as the manufacture of the products. | |||||||||||||||||

This will be the first Shared Earth visit to Bangladesh where our supplier Motif is based. The photo on the right shows basket making from recycled packets at Motif.
