Adult Forum: Bill Kaemmerer, Fair Trade Coffee

We get the coffee we serve at church from Equal Exchange. It used to bear a “fair trade certified” logo, but it doesn’t any longer. Should we be concerned? Come and learn the details of what has happened to the fair trade certification process in recent years, and why sourcing coffee from “small farmers” (that is, small cooperatives, not short people) in a manner adhering to fair trade principles is perhaps the best ethical choice. And, what about other “fair trade” products? We’ll discuss.

Forum is in Fellowship Hall. Coffee and treats will be served.
