The Presbytery of the Pacific supports the Fair Trade movement!
Enough for Everyone
contact person- Fairly-traded items are included in this umbrella organization that promotes socially-responsible consumerism. Information about energy conservation and a financial co-operative that assists emerging industry are also available at this link.
Fair-Trade Coffee (Chocolate and cocoa too!) from the Presbyterian Coffee Project
website- Reach out to communities in the coffee-growing world! Congregations that participate are supporting fair trade — ensuring that more of our "coffee dollar" goes to the farmers who do the work. Fair trade complements Presbyterian mission with farmers around the world.
Just Coffee: another Fair Trade Coffee Source
just coffee website- presbyterian border ministries
- Just Coffee is a Presbyterian border ministry project started by Rick Ufford-Chase. Coffee comes from a farmer's cooperative in Chiapas, Mexico which grows the beans (100% organic Arabica and shade-grown); it is roasted in Sonora, Mexico, and distributed from Douglas AZ with the assistance of the Presbyterian Border Ministries there. Often family members of the growers who live in Arizona are involved in the distribution.
Sweat-free Ts
website
order shirts
help the industry expand- Altogether, we Presbyterians print a lot of t-shirts. Unfortunately, almost all of the apparel readily available to us in stores was produced in sweatshops. The good news is that sweatshop-free shirts are available from the PC(USA), ready to print with your group's logo or design. Whether you're creating shirts for your youth group, upcoming mission trip, presbytery summer camp, congregational celebration or special event, put your faith into practice by choosing sweat-free Ts!
