Fair Trade and Green! A Sustainable CombinationTo learn more about the principles of Fair Trade, please link to www.FairTradeCertified.org or www.oxfamamerica.org . Both of these sites contain a wealth of information, Fair Trade resources and campaign materials. In addition, many faith based organizations are now actively supporting the Fair Trade movement, for example we recommend reviewing www.mcc.org/us , www.crsfairtrade.org , or www.lwr.org . Two more active websites for Fair Trade and sustainable agriculture are www.organicconsumers.org and www.coopamerica.org. And all of our vendors have extensive descriptions and links about their Fair Trade committments. People and Planet - Fair Trade/Eco StoreWe are very proud to show off all of the Fair Trade foods and craft items at our store - People and Planet. Although we recognize the efficiencies and capabilites of the internet, we are always delighted to welcome customers and friends to our showrooom. We now inventory over five hundred Fair Trade and environmentally friendly items and each of our products has a unique story to tell about the people and organizations who are our suppliers. Your phone calls and e-mails are very important to us because even a brief chat or e-mail visit can lead to a relationship that will endure beyond just a completed transaction . Sure, surfing the internet for product and price is a big part of how business is conducted these days. But the real enjoyment of being in business is the opportunity of meeting new people, exploring ideas, and sharing experiences, stories and dreams about working together for a better world and a more sustainable future.
