Fair Trade
We all enjoy finding lower prices and a good bargain. However, we do not realize that something as personal as our shopping habits may have a profound effect on the lives of people many miles away from us.
Many producers of items that we take for granted such as coffee, tea, and chocolate live in great economic difficulty. Since they don’t have direct access to world markets they are dependant on middle men who make great profit and leave only a little for the actual persons who toiled in the fields. Fair Trade offers an alternative to this system of exploitation by opening markets without demanding great profit for shippers and distributors. Lutheran World Relief, a ministry of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, has joined the efforts of Fair Trade by making products available for congregations and individuals.
