Can I clarify one thing? Starbucks is NOT fair trade - only 6% of their coffee is fair trade certified, so when you buy coffee at starbucks, even if it IS fair trade, the money is going to a company that also supports non-fair trade coffee (not to mention that none of their sugar, honey, or tea is fair trade). Look around for coffee shops in your community that buy 100% fair trade products.

consider this,when labor is completely forced and there is no wage at all, i see it ok that we try to make those responsible take responsibility for thier actions,but this isnt always the case, depending on the product, some sweatshop workers, cocoa/ceffee farmers, etc. actually make a wage, albeit a very small one, but its still money,if we stop the companies that are giving them this money, we would be taking away what little money they have, i love fair trade, but how do we avoid this?

Plus, when you buy local the money supports your community's economy, not some huge corporation.

@imthebluefaery Yes, but there is a movement to make Starbuck's fair trade. They do sell fair trade coffee, if you ask for fair trade coffee, they will have no problem with it at all.

this is a wonderful video.

I'm doing an advert for a project at school based on fairtrade.

Would it be possible for me to use some of the pictures that you have used?

Thanks :D
