Global Village joined over 12,000 people in 150 locations across the United States to set a new Fair Trade coffee break record!!! Events called attention to the importance and benefits of Fair Trade.
 
What does “fair” really mean?
The word “fair” can mean a lot of different things to different people. In alternative trade organizations, “Fair Trade” is about more than just paying a fair wage. It means that trading partnerships are based on reciprocal benefits and mutual respect; that prices paid to producers reflect the work they do; that workers have the right to organize; that national health, safety, and wage laws are enforced; and that products are environmentally sustainable and conserve natural resources.
 
Catch us next year and see what we do.
