Happy Halloween!

Just in time for the season - NEW PUMPKIN ONESIES!

How can you make a difference this Halloween?

By supporting sustainable, fair trade options for your trick or treating needs. During Halloween, companies like Nestle USA enjoy their BIGGEST sales to children. Unfortunately, chocolate is no treat for the hundreds of thousands of child cocoa laborers that work helping their families on farms in Western Africa. The US chocolate industry says it's working to end abusive child labor on cocoa farms, but so far little has been accomplished and their plan does NOT guarantee farmers a fair and stable price for their cocoa.

The Solution: Certified fair trade chocolate (preferably organic)!

Fair Trade guarantees farmers a fair price for their cocoa, so they can feed their families and keep their children in school. Fair Trade does not allow abusive child labor or forced labor. This year you have the opportunity to feel better about what you are giving out for Halloween and a chance to educate those that are stopping by your house for a little treat. Order your fair trade Halloween Trick or Treat kit from Global Exchange. We picked up one kit and 2 extra bags of chocolate for our family this year. This October is the 2nd annual fair trade month in the USA, so transition yourself into leading a fairly traded lifestyle starting this Halloween.
