ORDERING FAIR TRADE COFFEE
AT UUCC
The
UUCC Environmental Committee requested early in 2003 that Fair Trade
coffee be purchased to serve at coffee hour. This was done, and
we are now enjoying great coffee and also helping ensure fair prices for the
small coffee farmers and stimulating environmentally friendly
coffee growing practices around the world. We are going through the UUSC (http://www.uusc.org/info/coffeeproject.html)
as our purchases also assist this organisation.
We
later decided that we would order packages of coffee for sale
to our members, and in
so doing, continue to help the farmers, and also
ensure that we are purchasing shade-grown, organic
coffee to promote environmentally-sustainable farming practices.
This coffee and cocoa is now being sold to
church members
after the service on Sundays. The slight markup means extra income for
our church yet the coffee is still a bargain!
Please email Christine if you would
