La Mesa, CA, a Fair Trade Town

La Mesa Fair Trade and Fair Trade San Diego at the Earth Faire on Mt Helix!

Children came to our booth to find the "Clue 1" for the scavenger hunt.  The answer was Fair Trade bananas!  Our Fair Trade bananas were purchased at Whole Foods in Hillcrest.

The adults and children that attended our talk learned that two years ago there were only 20 Fair Trade Towns in the USA.  Now there are 32.  We were proud to announce that all of our local universities have a stake in Fair Trade!  UCSD and USD are officially FT Universities, Point Loma Nazarene University has filed the final paperwork and SDSU is on its way to become a Fair Trade University.  We are proud to be a part of a growing movement that is making a difference locally and around the world.
