Link to article on fair trade
Mar 4, 2008
Focus: Workers Rights
Action Request: Think About
Location: Maine, United States
 
The following article discusses how Americans, and people in other relatively affluent nations, can use their purchasing power to support businesses marketing "fair trade" products that provide good wages to workers and artisans in relatively impoverished areas of the world. Thus, fair trade principles can contribute to global poverty reduction, economic development, workers rights, creative arts and crafts development, and international geopolitical stability.
