Fair Trade Your CAMPUS!

Green America, Ben & Jerry’s,  and Reverb have teamed up to help students across the country Fair Trade their campuses! The Campus Consciousness Tour, featuring Janelle Monáe and Fun, will kick off on October 1st and visit a dozen campuses in the Northeast, Southeast, and Midwest.

No matter where you go to school, you can take action on your own campus by downloading this postcard and sending it to your university’s president to request more Fair Trade options on campus.  You can also fill-out this postcard and leave it with on-campus cafes or store owners.

Email fairtrade@greenamerica.org with stories and pictures of you taking action on campus, so that we can add you to the campaign map.

About The Groups:

Now they are extending this commitment, and supporting small family farmers around the world by purchasing only Fair Trade Certified ingredients.
