im on a tight budget but i will do as i can afford and spread the word so yes i will support this
ReplyDeleteI've been trying to support Fair Trade for a while now. I introduced the Equal Exchange catalog sale fundraiser program to my children's school.
ReplyDeleteAlicia Hunt
Absolutely! As others have said, tight budgets make it hard. But even if we all just buy ONE item fair trade every year, that adds up.
ReplyDeleteYes, I will support them
ReplyDeletemark_5_34@yahoo.com
I don't see a lot of products that are FT. I buy them if they are not too expensive in comparison.
ReplyDeleteYes, I will do my best
ReplyDeleteYes, I will have the different companies in mind when shopping
ReplyDeleteI try to buy fair trade as often as I can afford it
ReplyDeleteMy man and I have made an effort to support Fair trade items for about the last 3 years. Each year, i see more and more items available at the grocery store, and that makes it easier. We also support local farmers' markets.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to, but I don't know if I can afford to.
ReplyDeletedefinitely will buy as often as I can afford to!
ReplyDeleteWe already do support Fair Trade, but you can always do more!
ReplyDeleteI will make an effort to support fair trade.

i think fair trade is wildly important, and have always been a supporter
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! In the past, I have purchased some fair trade but mainly by chance and not so much on purpose. After this blog hop and all I have learned, I will be more conciously shoppping for fair trade products!
ReplyDeleteI already prefer to buy fair trade, but in the future I think I'll be even more vigilant about it! :)
ReplyDeleteI already know a fair amount, but I don't think you can ever know enough. I am a supporter and will continue to try to educate friends.
ReplyDeleteI don't consider myself uneducated when it comes to Fair Trade, and I've been purchasing products from Fair Trade certified companies for a while now. But I can always do more!
ReplyDeletei try to as often as I can, but also agree with the cost-prohibitive statements....
ReplyDeleteI try to whenever I can.
ReplyDeleteI will try!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitely try to support fair trade as much as I can. I wish my local grocery had more options.
ReplyDeletesteph 0828 at hotmail dot com
Yes I will try to support them, as best as a can!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway
Yes I will absolutely support Fair Trade!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely try to support fair trade options as much as I am able according to my local grocery store's options and my budget, as well as buying locally, since locally grown products are usually fair trade
ReplyDeleteI definitely try to support fair trade products when I shop. I don’t think it’s right for certain people to live in substandard conditions simply because they weren’t lucky enough to be born in an affluent nation. I like that fair trade products attempt to address that issue.
ReplyDeleteI have been trying to make an effort with just one thing. I figure if i start with one thing, i will be more comfortable adding one thing in the future.
ReplyDeleteI've supported fair trade for years, & am glad that more people are starting to do so.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely support Fair Trade. It goes hand in hand with our values and that we look for healthy, organic, etc.

ReplyDeleteI love to buy from fair trade. Its such a great organization and the products are useful and stylish and/or delicious. I bought this great hemp fair trade purse this summer, last Christmas at craft shows I bought coffee and other little things to give as gifts to family and friends. In fact theirs a fair trade show coming up in early november at a nearby church. I will be sure to go and buy some more.

ReplyDeleteFair Trade has a lot of really great products that I would like.
ReplyDeletesavewish@yahoo.com
I would like to try and buy fair trade products. I think that there are some products that are reasonably priced and comparable to non-fair trade products. I may start with coffee and tea, and move to chocolates.
ReplyDeleteI'll give as much support as I can.
ReplyDeleteI have been a supporter of fair trade products since I moved out of my parents house at 18 13 years ago!
ReplyDeleteYes, as much as money allows and when I can find them!

Yes, as long as I can afford it. :D
ReplyDeleteYes, I will support fair trade!!
ReplyDeleteI've actually been researching the impact of fair trade for a while and I'm still a little doubtful on it's effectiveness as a poverty reduction tool. However, if a fair trade product is priced competitively and offers me other value I purchase it with great enthusiasm.
ReplyDeleteI will try my best too!
ReplyDeleteYes I will.
ReplyDeleteI will make more of an effort to support fair trade, sure, thank you for your awareness efforts!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Fair Trade is SO important, especially if not made in the USA.
ReplyDeleteI will try by best to do so!
