Help Support Fair Trade
Fair Trade Products
It is hard to believe that October is almost over, and another shopping season is upon us. In an effort to help consumers find Fair Trade Certified products more easily, Fair Trade USA, is marking Fair Trade Month in October (right now), with the launch of a new social media initiative. Fair Trade USA has a new “Fair Trade Finder” Facebook and mobile (iPhone and Android) application. It allows you to enter your location to find out where you can buy Fair Trade Certified products nearby, or in your town. You can also be among the first to populate the map with other Fair Trade product locations, in your area, or that you love to visit. Best of all, it’s an easy way for the environmentally conscious to support farmers, communities and the earth.

By participating in this small act, you can make a big impact on the lives of thousands of farmers and workers around the world in 58 developing countries. So, spread the JOY, and remember YOU CAN make a difference by supporting Fair Trade!
