our church is wanting to get into providing fair trade coffee for our various classes and gatherings as a lead in to more social justice issues. do any of you friends have any experiences switching over to something like this? i know the uk is taking initiatives.
as it stands now, we are thinking of doing this as an ongoing youth funraiser. not sure how that works philosophically for a change of habit, as people will only buy more expensive coffee to benefit the youth, not the farmers.. but anything is better than nothing. i guesss
