Coffee is one of those drinks that is everywhere. You can hardly get into a shopping mall without being inundated with the smell of it. But have you ever stopped to wonder where that coffee comes from?
Did you know that one fifth of the world's coffee is consumed by America? Did you know that most coffee growers get only 3 cents for every $3 cup of coffee sold? This is not enough for most farmers to live off of. The Fair Trade movement is trying to change this. Fair Trade Coffee is sold at several locations around Australia and at Starbucks upon request. By buying a Fair Trade Coffee, your not just having a cup of coffee, you helping to make the world a better place. Now doesn't the day feel better already?
For more locations where Fair Trade Coffee is sold visit the Oxfam website. Or for american readers, visit Fair Trade.
