Though we are not technically involved with the issue of "fair trade," we are always excited to support movements which help achieve sustainability and fair wages for the marginalized who often struggle significantly just to support themselves, their families, and their communities. Check out the following article to find out more about how you can be involved in making a difference with "Fair Trade Month!" October is Fair Trade Month Every October, TransFair USA engages licensees, retailers, activist partners, consumers and the media in a month-long campaign to promote awareness and sales of Fair Trade Certified products. This year’s theme, 31 Days 31 Ways, offers opportunities to make every day a Fair Trade day throughout the month of October. Each day you can learn a new fact about Fair Trade and an easy way to support the movement. These small acts can make a big difference in the lives of small farmers around the developing world, who often struggle to make a profit in the global economy. We want to hear how you're making Fair Trade a part of your life. Follow along with the campaign each day on Facebook and Twitter for a new way to support Fair Trade and then share your progress by tweeting and commenting throughout the month as you take 31 steps towards creating happier people and a healthier planet. Help us reach our goal of 31,000 Facebook fans and 3100 Twitter followers by October 31st by adding our Fair Trade Month banners and interactive widget to your blog, website or Facebook page, then forward the links to all of your friends and networks! Make sure that all of your friends and family members know that it’s Fair Trade Month!
