The idea of Fair Trade is gradually becoming main stream (if you are paying attention to global justice as you shop) but maybe Fair Trade is not going far enough. Some friends of ours, Tim and Mandy Taylor don’t think so and have started an organization called Coffee Ambassadors in response to the injustice so prevalent in the world’s second most lucrative trade commodity after oil!!!! Check out this article from Relevant Magazine that features their story, but be careful you may not be able to drink Starbucks with a clear conscience any longer…

From what we found out it is completely Fair Trade. This is at least better than the recent figure for Starbucks which says only 6% of it’s coffee is even fair trade to say nothing of direct trade.
