Fair Trade Month
October is fair trade month; and unbeknownst to many Chicagoans, the Windy City offers support to the fair trade community. A simple way to get involved is to purchase fair trade products in the Chicago area.
An online boutique called world-shoppe.com features crafts, stationary, etc. and promotes fair trade and sustainable living on a local and international scale. You can buy a few things or just learn the basics of fair trade practices and terminology.
In addition, fair trade is often linked to environmentally safe practices in agriculture. A combination of high environmental standards and financial rewards for sustainable farming makes fair trade a nice option for some in the agriculture community.
