Every increased possession loads us with a new weariness... For more inspirational quotes, |
Angel Fair Trade“When we rise in the morning... at the table we drink coffee which is provided to us by a South American, or tea by a Chinese, or cocoa by a West African; before we leave for our jobs we are already beholden to more than half the world.” Fair Trade is a sustainable system that endeavors to empower disadvantaged producers through payment of a fair price, democratically organized workplaces, technical assistance, social programming, equality for all, transparency, trust and environmental protection. It is a method of creating sustainable economies and new markets in otherwise poor developing countries, while simultaneously preserving traditional customs and practices. We encourage you to visit these sites to purchase rich-imported coffee, beautiful handicrafts, delicious chocolates, and decorative paper goods. As you shop, feel the joy of being a part of a global movement that respects, uplifts, and sustains some of the world's most talented and hard-working artisans and farmers. Bath and Beauty
