A press release I e-mailed widely this evening:
May 10: World’s Biggest Fair Trade Coffee Break Comes to Lovettsville, VA
For World Fair Trade Day, Greater Goods, Loudoun’s Green General Store and Fair Trade Art & Craft Gallery Hosts Coffee Break for Fair Trade
Fair Trade Products Better for Farmers, the Environment, And You, Organizers Say
Lovettsville, VA – Aiming to help set a world record for the biggest ever coffee break, Greater Goods is hosting a “Fair Trade Coffee Break” on May 10, World Fair Trade Day. It will be one of scores of Fair Trade coffee breaks held simultaneously around the country, and will focus on the benefits of Fair Trade for farmers, artisans, consumers, and the environment. Visitors to Greater Goods will be offered complementary cups of Fair Trade coffee and tea – as well as sweets baked with Fair Trade chocolate and sugar.
In order to set the world record, the events will have to draw thousands of people throughout the U.S. participating at the same time.
Greater Goods owner, Ayala Sherbow, said, “In a global economy the way each of us chooses to spend our money is at least as powerful as the way we choose to vote. The products each of us buys and the companies we choose to support have a direct impact on the health of the planet and the quality of life of our fellow humans. We urge people to discover the pleasures and benefits of purchasing high quality and ethically-sourced fair trade products.”
WHAT: “Fair Trade Coffee Break” to Help Set World Record;
Simultaneous Events in Towns and Cities throughout the U.S.
