Buying Fair trade Products
It is really important to buy Fair trade products for many reasons:
- You know that the product which you are using, eating or even playing with is made by people who get paid for making it and not by children or adults working as slaves without getting paid.
- You make sure of the quality of the product that you use.
On the other hand, by buying a product which is not Fair trade you risk lifes. You should know that this kind of products are not necessarily made by employees who get paid. For example, most of the cocoa which is produced per day is not Fair Trade. By saying "risk lifes" I mean that people who work illegally to make the goods that you use and buy everyday, get tortured. In some cases people have died that way.
In my opinion we should buy ONLY Fair trade Products. The problem is that in Greece there are only a few stores which sell those products.
