After leaving my anthropology class today I entered the university’s
business atrium to find a display promoting fair-trade. The table had a bunch
of free gizmos and gadgets adorned with the fair trade Canada logo. While I was at the table looking at the
information provided I noticed that every student that walked by, while I was
there, stopped if only for a minute to read the signs. This is a great example
of how modern this movement is. The table at the university was promoting “The
University of Alberta’s Ethical Purchasing Campaign focus[ing] on promoting
the use of fair trade certified products by spreading student awareness and
initiatives.” The pamphlets and info sheets provided a list of the places around
campus where you can purchase fair trade certified products…including COFFEE.
World University Service Canada (WUSC) promoted the display.
They have a web site, which you can visit and explore: www.wusc.ca
