Fair makes me happy

Lucia travels the globe promoting fair trade and occasionally (but not enough, Lucia) comes back and tells us about it. Sometimes she even talks about places we can go to purchase fairly traded items ourselves without even leaving the house.

So following orders I went online to this lovely place and ordered some fair trade coffee and a most delicious Advent Calendar for M for the holidays. It all arrived today and we had an early holiday, smelling the fairly traded Hope and Justice coffee blend and the Eithiopian Light Roast as well as oohing and aahing over the calendar made from cocoa beans from Ghana.

If we must succumb to holiday consumerism we might as well be Fair about it. Plus just about everyone drinks coffee. Their prices are the same as I pay in the supermarket and I feel much better supporting them over the coffee mafia types.

Go see for yourself.
