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!
