 When
you see the Fair Trade logo on coffee, tea, sugar or chocolate,
you can be assured that a third party certification agency
has determined the product to be Fairly Traded. This means
that the farmer and workers who grew the beans or teas received
a fair wage for their labors. Sadly enough, this cannot normally
be assured. For more info on how Fair Trade works, go to the
Global
Exchange website.

them because of their fair trade status. Positive feedback
goes a long way!
If you are aware of other Petaluma locations that carry
Fair Trade Products, please let
us know.
Ask for Fair Trade at your
local café
Global
Exchange has an agreement with Starbucks that says Starbuck's
will brew a cup of Fair Trade Coffee for any customer who
asks for it. Since they don't advertise it, the key is to
ask for it! You can also buy Fair Trade Coffee beans at Starbucks.
We hope that more Petaluma cafés will follow suit.
You can ASK for Fair Trade Coffee anywhere you get
a cup of coffee.

Look for the Fair Trade logos
when buying coffee, tea or chocolate! When you
see one of these labels on a product, you are assured the
farmer received a decent living wage for the harvest.
Equal Exchange also has Fair Trade Tea and Guayaki
Yerba Mate Tea is Fairly Traded.
The
2002 Valentine's Day FAIR TRADE COCOA DAY OF EDUCATION was
a Sweet Success! We educated many
people, distributed about 100 flyers
and gathered over 80 See's customer signatures to send to
See's headquarters so they know that their customers
are aware of Fair Trade chocolate and WANT IT!

report on our day at See's in the North Bay Bohemian newspaper!
