Gearing up for Fair Trade Month this October but feeling a little uninformed about Fair Trade? Check out this new book by Jacqueline DeCarlo, “Fair Trade: a Beginner’s Guide.” Stressing Fair Trade as a positive alternative to poverty, environmental destruction, and human exploitation, this book is packed with inspiring ways to make a difference. With comprehensive coverage of Fair Trade principles, Fair Trade’s evolution into a powerful economic and social justice tool, and ways to become personally involved, this book will encourage readers of all backgrounds to help strengthen global trade justice and buy socially responsible products.
In Fair Trade: A Beginner’s Guide author and activist Jacqueline DeCarlo makes sense of current debates in socially responsible purchasing, and reveals why Fair Trade means more than just buying bananas, coffee, and chocolate.
