Creation Care Tips

“Remain in the same house, eating and drinking whatever they provide, for the laborer deserves to be paid.” —Luke 10:7 Have you heard about Fair Trade products? Fair Trade allows farmers and farm workers to receive a fair salary—a just salary—not just the minimum that consumers are willing to pay which often is not enough to live on. When they enjoy better living conditions, farmers and farmworkers may avail themselves of health services and send their children to school (rather than keeping them on the farm to work from a very young age). The leading Fair Trade products are coffee and chocolate, but there are also teas, rice, spices, and bananas. Look for the “Fair Trade” logo and encourage a fair business in the name of the God who loves justice .
