If you wanna celebrate fair trade month, go grocery shopping at Co-opportunity in Santa Monica. You’ll find:
Fair trade teas! You can get Choice bagged teas, or chilled bottles of Honest Tea in the refigerators.
Of course, there’s lots of fair trade coffee, mostly from Cafe Altura and Newman’s Own Organics.
Then there’s fair trade yerba mate from Eco Teas and Guyaki. I’m actually not a big fan of mate, but some people love it –
And fair trade cocoa from Dagoba –
Pick up a couple bars of fair trade chocolate from Divine and Endangered Species.
More dessert: Some of Ben & Jerry’s ice creams in the freezer are fair trade 
There’s also fair trade sugar, just below the fair trade cocoa.
In the bulk area, you can get fair trade, organic basmati rice, both white and brown.
As you check out, you’ll see fair trade snack bars from Alpsnack and Maya.
And lastly, you can buy some pretty fair trade crafts from World of Good — They’re displayed on a stand near the cosmetics counter

For those of you who are interested in the issue of Fair trade, there is a powerful documentary out called “Black Gold,” that documents the lives of Ethiopian coffee farmers and clearly demonstrates why all of us should be asking for Fair Trade coffee. The film was recently released in the theater but is now available to the public on DVD via California Newsreel. You can read more about the documentary or pick up a copy of it here at http://newsreel.org/
