Drink Fair Trade on National Coffee Day! Posted by Gina Telaroli on September 29, 2009 at 6:17 pm

That’s right, today is a day when you can feel good about drinking that extra cup of coffee that you know you don’t actually need.   I love this, but what I love more is being able to drink fair trade coffee and to know that my indulgence isn’t coming at the expense of others.  So when you get your coffee today (and everyday) be sure to buy it from places where you can get fair trade beans.
