Fair Trade Los Angeles

[Crossposted on green LA girl]

Rate your local supermarket! Join Fair Trade LA’s campaign to bring Fair Trade products to the Los Angeles area by rating your local supermarket with a scoare card — and get a fair trade canvas shopping bag

Download the Supermarket Scorecard for Fair Trade LA here (PDF)

Just print out the score card, then go to your local supermarket and look for products with the Fair Trade Certified or Fair Trade Federation labels (below). Also, look for fair trade products or brands that’re being promoted by the store! Rate the store on each product category by variety and visibility

If you’re feeling adventurous, ask the store manager or store employees about fair trade products at their store. Rate them on their helpfulness and knowledge of fair trade products.

Because our goal is to improve availability of Fair Trade goods, we are wise to make allies with storekeepers – showing them the win/win of making Fair Trade goods available and visible.

When you’re finished, please return the scorecard to:

by mail: Fair Trade Los Angeles, 501 Rossmore Ave. #301, Los Angeles, CA 90004
by fax: 323.651.5607
by email: fairtradela@gmail.com
by face: Turn in the forms at any Fair Trade LA events announced on this website!

And we’ll send a canvas bag your way!

Fair Trade LA will compile the results of the survey and make them avaliable on our website. We’ll also use the info when asking store managers to sell more fair trade certified products.

This campaign is run in solidarity with Co-op America’s Adopt-A-Supermarket Campaign and Oxfam America.
