Limit your carbon foot print and buy local flowers....

is thinking roses consider Fair Trade!

Fair Trade Flowers - 

Why it Matters Green America 

 Fair Trade flower certification ensures that farms comply with rigorous environmental standards governing the use of pesticides, conservation of water, treatment of wastewater, protection of ecosystems and more.

 Valentines Day and Fair Trade Chocolate!

How can anyone go wrong with Fair Trade chocolates? No pesticides, no child abuses, people were paid fairly.   A gift that gives more than twice.   Pass it along this Valentine's Day.  Look for the Fair Trade label!  You may be rewarded more than you ever thought possible!  Fair Trade chocolate can be found at Cost Plus World Market in La Mesa, Whole Foods, Sprouts and Eclipse Chocolates.

A Great Fair Trade Boutique in San Diego!

Fair trade provides under and unemployed artisans from around the world with an opportunity to earn a livable wage and improve their quality of life by establishing a sustainable market for their products 

The Unity Center in San Diego believes in giving back to the global community and does this by selling fair trade products.  In 2007 they partnered with Exotic World Gifts so that they could provide a wide range of high quality fair trade gift items to members of their community and the public.

This partnership, combined with the congregation's passion for hand-crafted fair trade gift items, has grown into "Partners Fair Trade Boutique" one of the largest Fair Trade stores in all of San Diego.

When you purchase a beautiful product from our "Partners" not only are you helping to provide a sustainable income for these great artists, you are also helping to fund our micro-finance projects around the world.   The Unity Center's boutique is located at 8999 Activity Road San Diego 92126 and is open after the 9 & 11am services.  It is well worth the trip!

Had a great time with Fair Trade supporters at K & B Wine Cellars.  K & B offered their Fair Trade Vodka and Fair Trade liquors at 10% off that night.  Everyone sampled Fair Trade chocolate and enjoyed appetizers!
