Fair Trade Coffee, Chocolate and More Provoke Radio May 20th, 2007 This show is about Fair Trade. No, we're not talking about the NFL draft. But we are talking about things like coffee and chocolate and arts & crafts. The demands we make - or don't make - about the every day products we purchase have a direct effect on the people who work the hardest to get these products to us. That is, the producers. The ones who make or grow these products. Many of these products come from underdeveloped countries where poor farmers and artisans do not make a living wage, resulting in a cycle of poverty.Fair Trade. What is it? What's faith got to do with it? Listen in and find out how ordering a fair trade, half-caf, defac,mocha latte...can be an act of social justice! Guests are: Ms. Jackie DeCarlo, the Fair trade Programmer for Catholic Relief Services and Mr. Chris Treter, co-founder and president of Higher Grounds Trading Company in Michigan.
