10 Quick Guides to Read This October for Fair Trade Month

October is Fair Trade Month! This is a perfect time to reflect on the power our everyday purchases hold.

From your morning coffee to your favorite cozy sweater, the things we buy are connected to real people and communities across the globe.

Choosing fair trade means making a conscious decision to support ethical wages, safe working conditions, and environmentally sustainable practices.

As someone who has been in the conscious consumer space for ten years, I’ve written a lot about fair trade and worked directly with ethical brands.
