What would you like us at THE FAIR TRADE STORE to Blog about?
We feel its a good time to ask our customers, fans and followers to suggest some ideas about Fair Trade issues that you would like us to research and then post a Blog about. You can then leave comments and join in the discussion.
Previously in this Fair Trade Blog, we have covered topics such as Fair Trade jewellery from Kenya, Fair Trade Shopping Bags, the Amazon Rainforest, Recycled Magazine Paper and the uses it can be put to and 10 good reasons to support Fair Trade.
If you like the look of our Fair Trade Blog and would like to see more then please subscribe to us using the “Subscribe” tab in the top left hand corner of our Blog.
We look forward to hearing from you.
“Thank you for helping to make a difference.”
This whole topic of “fair trade” is so important. At the very least, fair trade offers real hope for helping to alleviate poverty for so many people around the globe.
A great way to learn more about fair trade is by participating in The Fair Trade Futures Conference being held September 10 to 12 in Quincy, MA. Not only is this the largest fair trade conference in the U.S., I am told it will be the largest Fair Trade event in North American history.
Can you keep us updated on similar fair trade events?
There’s a lot of information at the conference web site, http://fairtradeconference.ning.com/
I plan to attend to find out more about how to advance the fair trade cause right in my hometown. There will be lots of workshops, and something like 50 different fair trade vendors exhibiting.
Does something like this make sense to you?
Thanks for the comment Walt. I hope your conference is successful.
