Shop ethically! Come together with other Ohioans and work together to increase the presence of Fair Trade practices in our community. Attend the 2013 Ohio Fair Trade Expo taking place at John Carroll University and help impoverished workers from all over the world. Building off of last year’s expo, 2013’s event will include speakers, workshops, a fair trade marketplace, music, food and activities for families.
What’s fair trade? Fair trade is exactly how it sounds: fair. Fair trade goods, in essence, are goods created by workers paid at a fair-living wage. When you buy fair trade products you are directly supporting the creators of that product, and thus paying them a decent living wage. To learn more about the fair trade process, attend the exposition, ask questions and begin to think and shop more ethically.
