Weekend plans?

Friday afternoon is wearing on and the time is drawing near... for the lake! There's not much better, IMHO, than a drawing-on-hot summer day, an icy drink, and the sound of water lapping on the shore.

Which brings me to this. What unique opportunities does summer create for "living fair"? The regular school year is full of educational openings as we go into schools to share about fair trade. At Christmastime, philanthropy is on the brain--plus, people loving giving/getting gifts that tell a story. And I, for one, down a lot more coffee, tea, and hot chocolate when it's cold and dreary out.

But I've yet to hear of fair trade lemonade. I might be missing the fair trade swimsuit market, but we, at least, don't carry swim trunks or bikinis.


So, let me know--do you have any ideas about what a "living fair" summer might look like? Here's one idea to start you sports fans off right: these fair trade sports balls (for soccer , football, basketball, and even rugby) available here. Get your game on!
