Fair Trade at its heart is about building respectful and enduring
relationships with the farmers, cooperatives, roasters, stores

What can we do here in Silicon Valley?

As consumers we can make a statement in the economic life
of our world. We can enhance or diminish the economic
opportunities and community life and social justice.

When we go the stores and restaurants, support Fair Trade
products.

Fair trade is an opportunity to respond to this call in a small
but significant way everyday through the choices we make as
consumers.
