Support Fair Trade
In case you ever wondered about 'Fair Trade', what it means or even how to run a business with it. Check out FUTURE GREENfrom the couple we met in Ban Lung, Cambodia. They work directly with the villagers so that THEY can send their children to college.
For example, it takes 5 days at 7 hours per day to make ONE blanket. They make about $6, the people in the market sell it for $10 and by the time it gets to Canada, it costs from $100 to $150. Hmmmm....check out Global Exchange for cool stories on fair trade, including Cambodia.
