EDUCATION / SHARING KNOWLEDGE:

Fair Trade Colombia is happy to host tomorrow December 2, 2011 a delegation from the Colombian organization: "Promotora de Comercio Social" who are in Canada on a commercial mission.

EDUCATING YOUNG CONSUMERS!

On Thursday, December 8, 2011 (10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) Fair Trade Colombia has been invited to do a Fair Trade Talk to the students at the Bayview Secondary School in Richmond Hill, Ontario as part of their Annual Fair Trade Bazaar organized by the School's Eco-Team.

Their Eco-Team works towards reducing the environmental impact of students, school and community. One way in which they strive to do this is through educating the student body on environmental issues and the small lifestyle changes that works towards a greener future. Due to their efforts, they are officially certified as a Silver Eco-School.

At the Fair Trade Bazaar, they hope to provide an opportunity for students to see what fair trade, organic, eco-friendly products are available. Last year was a major success with both the students and staff. They learned about responsible, alternative choices they could make as consumers.

Fair Trade Colombia is happy to be able to take opportunity to help students realize that their purchasing power can create change for a better world.
