You know fairtrade is a farce right? Vast majority of the money you pay extra for goes to middlemen and marketing the fairtrade brand, plus the very small amount (~5% I believe) that does make it to the farmers is negated by the strict rules and communism style organisation that the fairtrade company enforces on the farmers.

I live in Asheville NC – and this area at large is really a progressive, sustainable, aware place to live. Just on my street several cars are sporting “runs on bio fuel” bumper stickers, people walk and ride bikes everywhere, there are several organic, fair trade clothing & lifestyle stores, the farmers markets are abundant…
Basically Asheville rocks I wish I had gone to Warren Wilson back in the day when I attempted college.
