I am a coffee junkie. I can not start my day without it! And a brand that I have discovered that provides rich, warm flavor and the boost I need in my morning is Green Mountain Coffee. But when I found out that the company is also an advocate for Fair Trade and encourage this beneficial purchasing method, I was even more inspired to learn more! To join me in getting info about the Free Trade mission, check out the video below:
To celebrate Fair Trade Month, Green Mountain Coffee and musicians Grace Potter and Michael Franti have teamed up as part of “Great Coffee, Good Vibes, Pass It On,” a campaign designed to increase awareness for fair trade and the positive impact it has on farmers all over the world.
To “raise the volume” on fair trade, Potter and Franti will each give exclusive, solo, livestreamed performances on the Green Mountain Coffee Facebook page (Grace from New York on Oct. 9 and Michael from Los Angeles Oct. 24) for fans to enjoy. Be sure to mark your calendars for these exclusive events!
