Trade As One

October 2011 marks the 8th annual Fair Trade Month in the US, and we want each and every one of you to be a part of it. So every week we’re going to suggest ways that challenge you to be part of the Fair Trade Movement for a better world!

6) PARTY ON: There ain’t no party like a fair trade party! Gather your friends this month and show them that fair trade can be fun too- have some garlic and herb dip for starters, quinoa as the main course, and after dinner mints to top it all off. Their taste buds will be incredibly happy and so will our producers around the world! Add in some catchy jams and you’ll be ready to go. Good company, good food, fair trade- what’s there to lose?

5) WEAR: This month dress with a purpose! Rock those fair trade t-shirts, scarves, and jewelry. You can make a difference everyday by wearing clothes that tell a story of hope and redemption, and then sharing that story with your friends. So put on your best fair trade outfit and tell the world that even something as simple as a shirt can provide hours of dignified work for those who need it desperately. And if you don’t have any fair trade clothing, then fear not, we have plenty for you! Take a look here.
