Shopping is more fun when it has a purpose. This month, look for a Fair Trade Certified label every time you shop and help artisans in developing countries earn fair compensation for their hard work. According to befair.org, buying Fair Trade Certified products can help improve working conditions, communities and the overall lives of farmers, factory workers and their families. Celebrate Fair Trade Month throughout October by picking up one of these gifts for a socially conscious friend.
