Fair Trade is hugely important. It is a worthy alternative to the rampant capitalism that we see around the world. It actually is a good and human business model! It treats people as people, paying the workers with decent living wages, empowers women and allows children to be children.
Fair trade is making huge strides nowadays. Hopefully, one day, fair trade will become the norm for business.
Just in 2012, tens of millions of consumers in over 120 countries spent around $6.6 billion in 2011, an increase of 12% over 2010 according Fair Trade International.
It's great for the movement! Our shop retails many fair trade items and the quality of the craftsmanship could not be better.
in conclusion, you have good products at good prices and they treat workers fairly? Really, the best of both worlds IS possible.
