This page will cover what we can do in Northeast Ohio to trade fairly with people around the world — so our consumption acts as a positive force to build living economies in developing countries, while not unfairly undermining the jobs of workers in the U.S.
We invite you to add your ideas about how to define fair trade and your recommendations for where to buy fairly traded goods.
