Media Pennsylvania - America's First Fair Trade Town
Since Media, PA became the first Fair Trade Town in the USA in June, 2006, it has inspired twelve other towns in the US to follow suit. Together we are raising awareness of how the simple purchase of Fair Trade products can address poverty in the developing world.
What does it mean to be America's First Fair Trade Town? It means that as a community, Media has taken a meaningful step toward improving lives all over the world.
At its most fundamental level, Fair Trade is the practice of insuring that farmers and workers receive a fair and stable price for their products and labor. In practice, Fair Trade extends well beyond fair pay and touches almost every aspect of the farming communities. Growers are encouraged to adopt environmentally friendly practices to ensure sustainability for their land and crops. Farmer owned cooperatives also invest back into their communities through health programs, building roads and schools. Because Fair Trade's impact spreads throughout communities so completely, everyone's quality of life is improved. From empowering women, sending children to school rather than the fields and building better infrastructures, these committed growers are ensuring the future of their businesses and their communities while producing superior products for the rest of the world.
