Life is Fair

Purchasing decisions make a difference.

In honor of Fair Trade Month, make sure you shop a bit differently this weekend. Fairly traded products allow those involved in the process to earn a fair wage. As such, your choice to choose a certain kind of coffee, chocolate or clothing means that someone else can live a little bit better, send their children to school, and afford adequate medical care. However, 'fair trade' means more than pricing. It also means that democratic processes were used in the negotiating process, and that the environment was taken care of properly during production. Celebrate by shopping with a conscience.

I always try to get/give fair trade products for Christmas, and make a lil' note to let others know that it is "fair trade", so maybe they will be encouraged to do the same.

That is such a good idea. I am going to do that this year for all my gifts.
