vegan_fairtradefootball_1.jpgAre Cheetos vegan? Just asking… If you’re having an alternative Super Bowl event and you want to toss around some pigskin that isn’t really pigskin, this is the ball for you. This Fair Trade football is an excellent backyard ball. It sports an all-weather, high-grip surface, is official size & weight; and it’s totally vegan.

Both eco and Fair Trade certified, this football is union-made by adult workers who received a fair wage. And no animals were harmed in its manufacture.

Best if all – all after-tax profits go to children’s charities.

$39 @ amazon.com

eco cred: This eco-certified football sports PU microfiber and 70% eco-certified rubber. PU microfiber is a synthetic fiber that produces an excellent leathery feel and causes no harm to people or planet. The rubber is derived from third-party certified sustainably managed forests in India and Sri Lanka.
