Fair Trade Organic Denim
Fair trade is an organized social movement and market-based approach to alleviating global poverty and promoting sustainability. The movement advocates the payment of a fair price as well as social and environmental standards in areas related to the production of a wide variety of goods. It focuses in particular on exports from developing countries to developed countries, most notably handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine, fresh fruit, and flowers.
Fair trade proponents include a wide array of international religious, development aid, social and environmental organizations such as Oxfam, Amnesty International, and Caritas International.
Some economists and conservative think tanks see fair trade as a type of subsidy.
Either that, or, “Fair Trade” is a marketing gimmick to get morons to feel good (and regard themselves as superior )about paying higher prices that may or may not actually benefit the individual producers of the commodities. If Travesty International supports it, it’s automatically suspect in my book. They’re only interested in those “human rights” issues that advance their own progressive agenda.
