Green Flash Brewery was a perfect venue to talk about fair trade and the impact it has made on so many people in developing countries. Many people attended and were able to shop for fair trade goods with Fair World Fashions and Equal Exchange at the end of the evening. There was lots of dialogue and camaraderie. It was an informative event that enlighten many people about fair trade. A highlight was Tony's Chocolonely Fair Trade Chocolate bars purchased at Cost Plus. The bars are shaped into human chains representing the slavery in the chocolate industry. This company's mission: together we'll make chocolate 100% slave free. This evening...we were all in!

Learn about fair trade locally and the difference it makes in developing countries.
