What You Can Do

 

Pressure Coffee Retailers to Improve Conditions for Workers

Urge your coffee company to make a commitment to improving the conditions of coffee workers who continue to toil on plantations.  If you visit large chain coffee retailers like Starbucks and Caribou Coffee, you can do this with their comment cards every time you visit.  And wherever you go, you can also ask for a Fair Trade cup of coffee at the counter.

 

Buy Fair Trade Coffee to Support Small Farmers and Cooperatives
