It’s no secret many of us feel that politics lacks relevance in our lives.  In fact, one of the biggest stories of the upcoming election is likely to be apathy itself.  Many of these negative feelings exist because we don’t feel like we are actually being given any real choices.

Think Act Vote is a project to give us all the opportunity to share the positive choices we would make if only we got the chance.

Think Act Vote was started by a group of friends whose backgrounds are in ethical fashion, politics and design. What brought them together was a shared frustration about the negative view of politics held by so many people in the UK today and an ambition to do something about it – creating a community around the choices we make for our future.

You are invited to take part...

We are proud to announce that our K1 factory in Kathmandu has been awarded the internationally recognised SA8000 certification for human rights in the work place. This makes it currently the only facility of it's kind in Nepal.

It has taken many months of working closely with the factory and inspectors to implement the changes necessary to bring the facility in line with SA8000s rigorous guidelines. But it was worth it !

We look forward to the challenge of helping our other factories to achieve the same status in the coming years...

A unique collection of poetry, which wittily comments upon the world, it's morals and how we live and interact with one another.

Through a combination of fable, humor and touching humanism, Joe Komodo conveys powerful and touching messages whilst maintaining his characteristic homegrown spirit and global feel.

The poems themselves are a hotchpotch of reflections as seen from a "Rickshaw window travelling the rickety ol' wheel of life". Each copy has been lovingly hand screen printed in Kathmandu on Himalayan Lokta (rice) paper with illustrations by Toby Leigh.

"Joe Komodo is a one-off, this book is a delight!"
- Joanna Lumley

"Kings Cross to Khao San Road - Kathmandu to... well, Komodo. Travel is something magic that inspires us all... the Isle of Dragons has certainly done a good job with Joe!"
- Tony Wheeler (Mr Lonely Planet)
