UW-L Fair Trade Sale

A Socially Responsible Alternative to Holiday Shopping

(Sponsored by: Progressives, Environmental Council, and the Native American Student Association)

UW-L student organizers urge the community to shop responsibly this holiday season by providing a fair trade market.

When: Monday, November 29 and Tuesday, November 30th, 9:30 am-6:30 pm

Where: Port O Call, Cartwright Center at UW-La Crosse

What: The Fair Trade Market is as an alternative for holiday shoppers where the buyer can rest assured that each product is 100% socially responsible. These certified products guarantee fair wages for the worker, quality products, community development, and sustainable environment. There will be an extensive array of fairly traded products available for sale from Concern America, Ten Thousand Villages, Heart of the Sky, Beehive Collective, and more. The student organizers of the fair trade market believe that the event will spread awareness about the fair trade movement and how each purchase counts toward the welfare of others in impoverished countries.
