Fair Trade....

Hello All my Alluirng Beauties,
 I wanted to share a thought with you all today, so please site back and read my post with a open mind and heart. So let me get started.

  Imagen working hourse on in on some thing you love, doesn't matter what it may be, but you work and work and work on it, you care for this Item day in and day out, you perfect it and and perfect it, care and tend to this Item until one day it is done, and you collect the Items or Item and take it to sell it. You know it worth a lot, not only because of the quality of the Item but also all the work care love and  time put into this Item. Ok so you are some where to sell your item and get offered far less then what it is worth, and you go some where else, and another place, and another, all the same you get offered less money than what you should get. so you finely say ok. fine I need the money I will sell it even tho I know it worth more. Now a few week to a month later you are in a store, and you see your Item only it has been changed, filtered and the quality is not what you gave them it been. it has been botched, so they can make many more Items but with fare less value. It is then sold for a far higher price then you were paid. How would you feel???? I am pretty sure  you would feel some anger and sadness and many other feelings,as well. well with that being said.
  Farmers and notably handicrafts, coffee, cocoa, sugar, tea, bananas, honey, cotton, wine, fresh fruit, chocolate, flowers, and gold. All this products that people work so hard to harvest, mine, and labor for are not getting paid what they should be getting paid, what there products are worth, and the companies that are paying them way less that what it is worth are marking the price up so high it't not even funny, on top of that, many of the product are alertered so that the quality is even less than what it is worth, just so they can strech the product, and then charge more.
 
Fair Trade companies are not like that, they pay the people the money there Items or product are worth, they are not altering the Items and they are selling them to us the consumer for a fair price, All in all everyone wins with fair Trade, and the quality of the products are so much better, that is just my short take on it for mor information on fair trade, check out the following web sites.
