Saw something really cool...

by lillkatherynComment Published at 13:0313:033 comments3 comments17 Visits17 VisitsReport

A few weeks back I was grocery shopping and came across some tea boxes that had an "ethical" trade or similar It said Ethical _ .  I can't remember the second word,but it was stating that they picked and paid the workers fairly and treated the process ethically.  It was really nice to see it here and that it shows how our mindsets in the US are being based on truth and not propiganda.

Ethical usually means something similar to The Rainforest Alliance... Renewable resources, limited damage to the environment, fair conditions and pay for workers etc.  It is a step in the right direction, however it isn't as good as fair trade.

McDonalds are sourcing their coffee from members of The Rainforest Alliance.  I hate Maccas, but I went to the drive thru and grabbed a large Cap when Jaydee was snoozing in the back the other day - it is something we should support.

I've seen something like that too.......i found some coffee in coles which was fairtrade, i picked it up to buy it and then looked at the price - it was $14.00 for 100g :(

Just to expensive i'm afraid!

That's fantastic! Just the other day hubby & I were watching tv and an add came on for a product & it said something about the product being picked by fairly paid workers - I really can't remember exactly what it said or what the product was but it made my ears prick up & I have been watching ever since to see it again. I was very impressed!
