Let's be real here, some of us just can't get through the day without a little caffeine boost. That first cup of coffee in the morning can open our eyes, get our blood pumping and help us function for the rest of the day. But are you being fair to the planet with you get your daily coffee fix? I'm not just talking about bringing your refillable mug to Starbucks or Dunkin Donuts, I'm talking about the actual product itself. What kind of coffee are you drinking and more important, is it fair trade?
Here's a great statement regarding Fair Trade from the Green Mountain Cafe blog:
"The ideals of Fair Trade are simple and well-intended: break the cycle of poverty by offering farmers a price floor and a ready marketplace for their products, and in exchange win assurances of eco-friendly and sustainable farming practices. In theory this cycle should lead to an upward spiral of increasing economic stability and product quality."
By choosing Fair Trade coffee, you will be supporting local farmers who work hard to be on the same scale as big business. Not only will you helping to build and sustain better trade practices, but you will be indulging in product that is free of pesticides and organic in nature. Bottom line: fair trade coffee is just better.
So why not give some fair trade coffee as a gift? These organic fair trade mug stuffers are a simple and affordable way to promote your business, help out hard working farmers and give people their daily caffeine kick. Your logo or message will be printed in full color, leaving you with an amazingly attractive promotion that's good all around!
