Fair Fare
Find out where your coffee comes from. Who grew it and how were they treated? Fair trade certified coffee directly supports a better life for farming families in the developing world through fair prices, community development and environmental stewardship. Check out sites like https://shop.equalexchange.coop/. If you’re worried about cost, consider mixing it to start, or buying in bulk which can be very competitive, especially these days. For many people it means being able to stay in their homes and success in their attempt to make a better world. Your morning cup never tasted so good.
“…while the existing world order proves powerless to assume its responsibilities, local individuals and groups can make a real difference. They are able to instill a greater sense of responsibility, a strong sense of community, a readiness to protect others, a spirit of creativity and a deep love for the land.” Pope Francis (LS179)
