For all those interested in traveling, the 2nd annual Fair Trade Expo is coming up in October, Fair Trade Month, so I will post some information courtesy of The Fair Trade Resource Network
Event:
Fair Trade Expo
Wednesday, October 22, 2008, 10:00 am - 2:00 pm 108 million people in the U.S. drank coffee yesterday. Americans pay an average of $4-$11 for a pound of coffee while the growers receive around $.80 per pound. Learn how fair trade can address this issue at the 2nd annual Fair Trade Expo. Local agencies and organizations specializing in fair trade will be on hand to talk about how they support fair trade and will also have products available for purchase. Snacks and fair trade goodie bags will be provided (while supplies last!). For more information contact Erin Quiring, equiring@iupui.edu *Co-sponsored by Students for Fair Trade
