Margaret wanted to explain the definition of a \u2018cooperative\u2019, which shared democratic rights and made decisions with their community members: SUSSED is a cooperative\/social enterprise, independent, not-for-profit, community membership company, trading for the benefit of the community, not multi-nationals. The aim of SUSSED is to help shoppers respond to the ecological and climate emergency, trade justice, and purchase ethical goods, thus live more sustainably. The goods sold \u2013 local, green and fair-traded \u2013 are selected because they are people and planet-friendly and are a challenge to corporate power via the power of the purse. www.sussedwales.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
