Remember how the term "organic" used to mean nothing more than a marketing gimmick? It's that way with many "fair trade" claims.

Make sure it truly is certified- look for the icon on each product's packaging. It's the half-black, half-white figure holding two bowls, with a circle behind him. See http://www.facebook.com/fairtradecertified?ref=nf

True, Kat. Not all of the products on World of Good are certified by TransFair USA. Like David said, make sure to look for the Fair Trade Certified label when you buy!

Fair Trade Certified In 2009, representatives of the Responsible Sourcing Program--a collaboration between Walmart, Sam's Club, USAID, TransFair USA, and local Brazil non-profit organizations visited some of the Fair Trade Certified cooperatives that would be benefiting from this partnership.

When I find out Walmart/Sam's Club is not paying the lowest price to put items on their shelves (due to their gigantic stores) I'll be convinced they are off the worst corporation list. I don't believe in playing games. Why add Fair Trade items to please only a few. They should go all out and change their tactics of buyng and selling.

Fair Trade Certified Buying Fair Trade Certified products not only helps farmers and their communities--it also helps their children. The children of Fair Trade farmers are the real hope for a future where poverty is alleviated, and dreams can be reached...all over the world. Take a trip around the Fair Trade globe through the eyes of chil...dren, as they go to school, play outside, help their parents, and just be...kids.

Consider Gifts of Fairness instead of Heifer! It's a similar program - give a gift that helps - but Fair Trade covers more, from environmental issues, women's rights, labor fairness & health care to economic justice! With each Gift of Fairness, you're helping farmers and farm workers invest in health care, education, business development, and environmental stewardship.
