My Spiritual Brother Felipe over at Maya Earth Coffee reminded me this period between May 3-18 is dedicated to the World Fair Trade movement. This is definitely one of the models of the Aquarian Age future of relationships between producers and consumers. I have some great links!
Because the actual day is always the second Saturday in May, this year May 10 is the actual “World Fair Trade Day.” Still, there are things going on all around the world as you read this. This link to the World Fair Trade Resource Network will take you to everywhere that the Fair Trade movement is being celebrated in various gatherings all over the world.
As they state in their banner, “ftrn.org is an information hub designed to grow the fair trade movement. Together, we can create a market that values the people who make the food we eat and the goods we use.” Please go check it out, since the Fair Trade movement is the conscience of humanity speaking against the “smash and grab all the profit you can” mindset that has created so much resentment and suffering.
If you want to know more, here’s the website to the World Fair Trade Organization, another major player in the World Fair Trade Movement. That site also has a lot of information about the global movement, and what’s going on where. This one’s worth a few minutes of your time. The more you know, the more you’ll see it’s the only way to go!
