To showcase their Fair Trade Apparel & Linens Program, Fair Trade USA created a student video competition titled “Fair Trade Fits.”
Finalists from University of Michigan, Portland State University, College of William & Mary, University of Texas at Austin, and Kent State University are competing to win a paid trip to visit a Fair Trade USA farm or factory. Fair Trade USA producers and manufacturers are located in India, Liberia, Peru, Nicaragua and Costa Rica.
To vote, pop on over to the Fair Trade USA Facebook page (titled Fair Trade Certified) and ‘Like’ your favourite video.
Voting closes this Friday @ 5pm Pacific Time, so you’ll have to hurry!
Great work, everyone! And good luck to the finalists!
