We spent the month sharing 31 days to Fair Trade your Halloween and celebrate Fair Trade month. ]]> We certainly hope so! For 31 days we sent out 31 ways to Fair Trade your Halloween and celebrate Fair Trade Month.

We hope that you had as much fun as we did eating Fair Trade bananas, hosting movie screenings, baking delicious Fair Trade goodies, recycling Halloween costumes, and giving out Fair Trade chocolates.

We especially liked Equal Exchange’s video about the Potong Cooperative Tea Garden in India. With your help, Equal Exchange was able to donate 10,000 tea bushes to farmers in India.
