Please join us in celebrating World Fair Trade Day 2009 and help us set the record straight! Fair Trade means a fair wage for farmers and artisans who produce the items we consume and enjoy, a better future for our planet and a tastier, higher quality product for you. On and around May 9th, 2009, Fair Trade supporters around the country will take a break and enjoy a cup of Fair Trade coffee, a bar of Fair Trade chocolate, bake a cake using Fair Trade sugar, join in a drum circle with Fair Trade musical instruments or participate in a game of soccer using Fair Trade soccer balls. Whatever you do, please make it a Fair Trade break – because everything’s better when it’s fair. Visit www.FTRN.org to learn more and to get involved.
