Give a gift that gives twice: Favorite fair trade gifts of Blufftonites

Posted by Fred Steiner on November 29, 2010 - 5:48am

During this Christmas season we all want to be generous to the poor.

Fair trade is a wonderful way to do this while checking off your gift list for friends and family. Fair Trade is a strategy for poverty alleviation and sustainable development.

Its purpose is to create opportunities for producers who have been economically disadvantaged or marginalized by the conventional trading system. Fair trade includes sustainable, environmentally sound agricultural practices, and focuses specifically on fair labor practices and prices.
