Trade is better than aid!
Do your purchases help
workers earn a decent
living? Are the products you buy made in a
way that respects the
environment? With
Fair Trade, the answer is YES.
Fair Trade builds a
sustainable future based
on the artisans’ own abilities. Artisans recieve a fair price for their
goods and advances on orders to help them pay for the raw materials.
Sources, production, and
workplaces do not
exploit people or the environment. When you
purchase a Fair Trade product,
you are helping
a craftsperson in a developing nation rise
above the poverty line.
Fair Trade is better than
aid! It's
shopping with a social conscious, it's ethical consuming,
and it's the right thing to
do.
