While in Guatemala, I learned about fair trade coffee.
I learned that Fair Trade means that producers are paid fair prices for the products they produce, instead of the minimum prices that the marketplace will allow, as is the case in the mainstream market today.
I learned that fair trade apparel largely consists of small shops selling indigenous clothing but is growing into other markets.
I learned that Fair Trade establishments pay their workers a living wage, rather than the minimum wage. Thanks for the giveaway!

I think fair trade is the next best alternative to buying local. I learned in started in the US in the mid to late 1990s.
Fair trade is a good deal for the workers.
)
It is only fair that they get paid a living wage to create these items to sell.
Bella the Bunny is a good toy for my niece
With the exception of Fair Indigo, teen retailer American Apparel is the only major brand selling “sweatshop–free” clothing in the United States.
I like that they make a distinction between minimum wage and a living wage. There is a huge difference.
Stumbled, sito50
minimum wages, not fair wages, dominate the clothing market today

I learned that fair trade is dedicated to paying workers a fair wage instead of minimum wage, and that the US is way behind in adopting this concept.
I think it’s a great idea, and more companies should be a part of fair trade.

fair trade is so important to reasonable pay and workplace rules and regulations. Stop the abuse!
Fair Trade workers get paid a living wage rather then minimum wage.
I learned that Fair Trade is a spectacular concept, it’s a way for poor people to lift themselves out of poverty by making crafts, and by being paid a fari wage. I love the concept, and will be buying as many Fair Trade items as possible. I also LOVE Calley the Cat Jooble.
What I learned is: that fair trade apparel largely consists of small shops selling indigenous clothing but is growing into other markets.
they get a living wage not just a fair wage
I learned that they pay them a fair wage.
people don’t seem to understand the fair trade, unless it’s brought to their attention, and is so important.
the Fair Trade establishments pay their workers a living wage, rather than the minimum wage.
Quite simply, we pay fair wages to the good people who make our clothes and accessories instead of the minimum wages that dominate the clothing market today.
I think that is great.
I would choose Callie the Caat

Fair trade is fair wages for workers instead of the minimum wages they have been paid.
Thanks for a great giveaway.
fair trade would be good if everyone was fair
I learned that the fair trade workers are pais a living wage as opposed to a minimum wage. Helping them to survive and make due rather than working and not being able to afford to love!
Fair trade got its start in Europe and first appeared in the US in the mid 1990s focused on coffee growers
Fair trade basically means that workers have decent working conditions and receive a fair wage for their work. “Fair” means they can afford to support their families, see that their children get an education, and have at least a little left over. It’s just right for us to patronize companies that promote fair trade.
i realt think thay are all so cute and well i think i go for the monkey thanks
I learned that fair trade is an amazing and awesome concept. It results in fair wages and good working conditions for all workers. I think this benefits everyone involved, even the company paying the extra money.

I wasn’t too familiar with fair trade till recently. It’s a great way to help people earn fair wages for their products and you feel better knowing it wasn’t made in a sweatshop somewhere by children.

I learned that fair trade is dedicated to paying workers a fair wage. Thanks for the chance to win.
Fair trade basically means that workers get paid fair wages. Wages that reflect cost of living for THEM and not the big corporations who in the past have benefited from underpaid employees. I’m actually surprised this isn’t practiced more yet! I love that this company is trying to spread the idea around!

it is fair living with a fair wage
I know how difficult it is to survive on low wages so I am all for the concept of fair trade. I was not aware before now that certifying fair trade apparel is more difficulty than certifying fair trade agricultural products.

Thank you for promoting and teaching people about Fair Trade. Fair Trade pays workers a living wage and not minimum wage or sweat shop wages.
I’m also a subscriber.
Fair trade helps people support themselves & their families with fair wages instead of minimum wages.
I learned that workers get paid fairly for the work they do so they can get out of poverty. Thank you so much!

Every American should understand the concept of fair trade before purchasing ANYTHING…we should never support imported (or domestic) products that have been manufactured by workers who have not received a fair wage for their efforts. Thanks for the giveaway – these Joobles are too cute!

Fair trade got its start in Europe and first appeared in the United States in the mid to late 1990s focused on paying fair wages to coffee growers in developing countries
I think Fair Trade is extremely reasonable. I think that there is no reason for someone to be treated diffeently because they come from a different country
I learned that by 2004 fair trade coffee accounted for 2% of total coffee sales in the US and was growing at an average annual
rate of 75%. I think fair trade is important and more companies should practice it.

I already knew quite a bit about Fair Trade, but I was unaware that Fair Indigo and American Apparel are the only two major brands selling “sweatshop–free” clothing in the US.
What a sad statistic, really. Support FAIR TRADE!
I had no idea that with the exception of Fair Indigo, teen retailer American Apparel is the only major brand selling “sweatshop–free” clothing in the United States.
