to show my support
I believe that everyone should have the opportunity to be fairly paid for their labor and services so this is a great program and I will definitely support it any way that I can.
I would want to support fair trade as then I know they are legal and quality product.
The Vital Choice review: I like that it is made from Latin American cocoa, offering maximum health and flavor. Tests confirm they’re very rich in the healthful polyphenols natural to cocoa that has not been alkalized (Dutched).
I support fair trade because I want my daughter to grow up knowing where the products she buys comes from and how they are produced.
Wow, nice prize packages with great products, and serves for great causes!
I support fair trade products b/c I believe in their causes and the chocolate is so yummy.

I support fair trade because it’s more ethical in terms of child labor, and also ensures those working get a good wage.
I am trying to eat healthier and I find that organic and fair trade items tend to be healthier:)
I believe that everyone should be paid a living wage for what they do and that I shouldn’t benefit because other people suffer.

I think it’s about time we all support the companies and people who are doing it right. Help the people of our world, and help the planet, instead of helping the multi-billionaires.
I always buy fair trade. It’s our responsibility to make the right decision, the companies won’t do it for us! Supporting those companies that have made the leap to offer fair trade certified goods is supporting the people, animals, and nature that we so rely on.

I absolutely LOVE this idea! I try to buy fair trade whenever I can because it’s all about supporting companies that aren’t in it just for a dollar!

I support Fair Trade because I believe in their cause. They are helping so many people for
the right reason.
I like knowing I’m supporting good ethics.
I like knowing that when I purchase a fair trade product that I am helping disadvantaged communities…helping them learn how to use the free market to their advantage.
Simple- I believe in the cause. I also happen to think that fair trade items are among the finest quality products you can find anywhere.
I support fair trade because I want to know that the products I use go towards creating a better life for the people that produced it!
I think it’s important to support small “companies” that are making items, food, etc that are organic and natural as opposed to huge companies that are only interested in how much money they can make and how cheap they can make something.
We do everything to be as environmentally and socially responsible as possible, this is a great cause to support.

Workers deserve fair compensation!
I want to support fair trade because I don’t think it’s right for certain people to live in substandard conditions simply because they weren’t lucky enough to be born in an affluent nation.

i support fair trade because it’s the right thing to do. Everyone should be allowed to earn a fair wage for their hardwork and handicrafts.
tree recently posted..Canning Burn Update.
It’s just the right thing to do.
I buy Fair Trade whenever I need something that is not made locally so I know it was made with respect to workers.

I buy fair trade because it ‘s important to support and respect the people behind these businesses, make sure they are treated well and educated/trained. That creates self-sustaining communities and helps support the environment too!
moonsword recently posted..Two on Tuesdays…For Your Many Moods
I shop fair trade because I believe in workers getting fair wages and fair treatment and I want to be sure that I am not supporting slave labor like some chocolate companies.
It’s important to know where the products we buy come from, how they are made, who makes them – and not to just assume that everyone is treated and works under fair conditions – and we should support the ethical fair-trade businesses. We should reward good behavior!
I support Fair Trade because it is the right thing to do.
Because they sound like quality products.
It’s so important that these farmers aren’t taken advantage of. They deserve to be paid a fair wage for the work they do!

When I was in the Peace Corps, many, many years ago, I would see the local craftsmen and their families working on items for export. They were lucky to get 1/10th of the price these items brought in the market. It always seemed very unfair that those who put the effort into production got so much less than the middlemen who transported and sold it.
Our church has been supporting fair trade coffee and chocolate for several years now. We serve it at our functions and sell it once a month. Giving producers more control of and profits from their efforts is the right thing to do.
I like getting fair trade products. They are produced much better than the cheap stuff “Made in China” that all the store owners keep buying. I have told store owners that the reason I will not buy anything from their stores is because the bottom of each item has a “Made in China” sticker on it.
I would support them for the good quality
I think it is important to think about people in other countries, and whether they are getting fair wages and working conditions.
products produced under Fair Trade help both the people of the countries where they are created and those where they are purchased
equality. we all deserve a fair wage.

I buy fair trade when it is able to compete in the market on price, quality or uniqueness. I find that there are some things that are better when they’re fair trade because they’re hand made and unique instead of mass produced. Depending on what I’m buying I like that personal touch.
