Fair Trade Your Everyday

How can I get involved? This is one of the most common questions we get at Trade as One. This page serves as a starting point for exploring how you can more deeply engage with the principles of fair trade.

Truly, the first thing you can do to get involved in Fair Trade is simple.
Change your buying habits and vote with your dollars.  According to the Better World Shopping Guide, the average American family spends $18,000 on goods and services. If you begin viewing each dollar you spend as a vote, how might you spend your money differently?

Begin asking questions about your purchases – where was this made, how was this made, who made this? Don’t underestimate the difference you can make through your buying decisions. A great resource to help make good choices is our online fair trade store. Everything here on our site makes the world a little bit better. Another good resource is the Better World Shopping Guide - it ranks companies on the following 5 key issues: Human Rights, The Environment, Animal Protection, Community Involvement, and Social Justice.

If you are already a conscious consumer and want to get even more involved, consider launching a Trading Post in your faith community, or Making Your Mark by volunteering with Trade as One.
