Happy Labor Day!

Which means, you should be paid fair wages while working in good conditions and reasonable hours. This holiday was founded in 1894 for these very reasons, yet, many of the rights fought for are still ignored today. This Labor Day, choose sweat-free, fair trade items to contribute to your patriotic purchases!

Change.org just announced that Cadbury has commited to using fair trade chocolate by summer 09!  Cadbury is the UKs leading chocolate brand, who will hopefully inspire US brands like Hershey and Nestle to get on the fair bandwagons.  As Easter approaches and Cadbury Creme Eggs hit the shelves, our friends across the pond will be able to enjoy a more guiltless treat (unfortunately, Cadbury US is under Hershey liscence…so, we American consumers have work to do).  Power to the consumer!
