If you'd like to have an opportunity to shop Fair Trade and support local people who are trying to further such shopping experiences, consider going to the International Fair Trade Expo in Lawrenceburg, Indiana, Friday and Saturday December 6th and 7th.
More details can be found on their Facebook Page. My friend Marcia has been posting photos of lots of beautiful jewelry, chocolate, items for men and even contests from the event organizers for a few weeks now.
Like me, are you tired of buying cheap junk that you and your family don't even need to begin with? Do the stories of the trampling and fighting on Black Friday just make you nauseated with disgust? Do you want your spending dollars to make a difference in the lives of those who make the items, instead of paying someone slave wages to keep your home knee deep in crap? Then join me in a little revolt and have a Fair Trade, buy local, support small businesses and give to charities Christmas.
The true meaning of Christmas was the Messiah came to give us life, right? How about this Christmas we all start a tradition of doing the same for a change!
