The petition


I pledge to support Fair Trade during 2008. The Fair Trade movement seeks to enable impoverished communities across the planet to find sustainable ways to escape poverty.

The Fair Trade Federation defines Fair Trade as:

"Fair trade is a system of exchange that seeks to create greater equity and partnership in the international trading system by

Providing fair wages in the local context,
Supporting safe, healthy, and participatory workplaces,
Supplying financial and technical support to build capacity,
Ensuring environmental sustainability,
Respecting cultural identity,
Offering public accountability and transparency,
Building direct and long-term relationships, and
Educating consumers. "

I hereby pledge to use my consumer power wisely in 2008 and buy Fair Trade where possible.
