Fair Trade Products

For those of my friends and family who LOVE Starbucks-

The Starbucks corporation has agreed to offer fair trade coffee in all their stores, if a customer asks for it. Many stores don't actually brew it unless someone specifically asks for it. The next time you visit Starbucks, ask for their Fair Trade blend, which is called Cafe Estima. You'll be helping to prevent human trafficking in the coffee industry and showing Starbucks that their customers value fair trade products.

Consumer demand for cheap goods and services motivates traffickers to enslave workers to pick our fruit, make our clothing, clean our hotel rooms, serve our food and do a number of other tasks. By buying fair trade goods, you support companies and products which ensure a living wage for the producers and humane working conditions. For more information on how you can stop human trafficking:
