Oh yes. Sales of Fair trade, organic and eco products are down almost 40%, illustrating that when it came down to it people cared about them about as much as they do about other "fashion" goods. I'm not suggesting everyone who buys them doesn't buy them for the right reasons, but for many (a significant wedge of those who've stopped) it was more a matter of suburbia latching onto the latest fad as opposed to the individuals concerned having a strong personal moral belief in the importance of such goods.
