Here are five great reasons to live a fair trade lifestyle:
- Every peso spent on Fair Trade goes back to the hands of those who need it the most. It doesn’t boost the profits of the already rich, but instead uplifts lives from poverty and promotes positive change.
- Fair Trade promotes self-reliance in impoverished communities, not a reliance on hand-outs.
- Fair Trade helps address environmental issues. Fair Trade products are made from recycled or sustainably-collected natural materials, therefore nourishing the only planet we have to live on.
- Fair Trade is child-friendly. Fair Traders support the UN Convention on the Rights of Child and follow strict local labor laws.
- Fair Trade ensures that indigenous and important cultural skills are passed down from one generation to the next – restoring Filipino heritage and tradition.
It’s not too late to start living a Fair Trade lifestyle. Make a change today!
