Fair Trade Products Guide:
Where to Find Fair Trade Products at Metro AreaStores, Local Coffee Shops and Online*
You can make a difference to help end slavery in our lifetime! Support the companies that make slave free chocolate, coffee, tea and other products. What you buy matters! Just a small shift in demand causes other companies to take notice and realize that they need to clean up their supply chain by eliminating slave labor. Next time you shop, consider replacing the products you usually buy with Fair Trade products. The price might be a little bit higher, but consider the ultimate cost of people’s lives when products are made by slaves.
Fair Trade products usually display one of these symbols:
