World Fair Trade Day 2009 is a salute to the people and organizations who have dedicated themselves to making Fair Trade what it is today, a solution not an issue. Fair Trade is not just about poverty, it's a solution to poverty, Fair Trade is not just about climate change, it's a solution to environmental degradation and bad practice. Fair Trade is not just about protest, it's about change. Change that’s long overdue.
It’s a Big Day for the Planet. Unite with millions of people and be the powerful voice of positive change. Tell the world you want an end to poverty, an end to climate change and the beginning of sustainable living. World Fair Trade Day is your global stage.
The official World Fair Trade Day is Saturday, May 9th but Chicago Fair Trade will be in Daley Plaza Monday, May 4th! The emcee will be Jerome McDonnell of Chicago Public Radio's World View. Stop by the plaza between 10am and 6pm to celebrate, learn more about fair trade, and purchase fair trade products!
