Have a blast! Make new friends!
Change the world! Protect the planet!
Join the fun with Global Exchange’s Sweet Smarts!!!
Global Exchange’s Fair Trade campaign is a national network of
individuals, from young children to senior citizens, whose simple,
creative actions to educate and advocate for Fair Trade certified products
transform communities and corporations to support small farmers’
efforts to build a better future for their families.
Participants support these courageous farmers from some of the
remotest spots on the planet, who are standing up against exploitation
by transforming trade, one cocoa or coffee bean at a time!
AND we do it all with CHOCOLATE and COFFEE!!!
What will YOU do if you join the
Fair Trade/Sweet Smarts campaign??

HOLiDAY ACTiONS!
If its’ Halloween,
we go Reverse Trick-or-Treating...giving chocolate back to
people at their doorsteps...Fair Trade chocolate, attached to a card with information
on problems of poverty, child slavery/abusive child labor, and environmental
degradation in the cocoa fields and how Fair Trade makes a difference.
If it’s the winter holidays,
we go Fair Trade caroling, informing neighbors and
communities about Fair Trade.
If it’s Valentine’s Day,
we have valentine inserts that folks of all ages can put inside
their valentines to let their loved ones know about Fair Trade.
You CAN change the world. WILL you? It doesn’t matter whether you’re 6 or 86.
