Fair Trade

Today marks the start of the Christmas shopping insanity.  If you are going to buy gifts this year, please, please, please consider buying Fair Trade.  Here are links to some groups in the U.S. that either do mail order, internet shopping, or have local stores.  There may be a Fair Trade shop in your own town that is not affiliated with one of these groups.  I encourage you to support them, too.  Here’s a start:
