October is Fair Trade Month!

We, The Work of Our Hands, believe that consumer choices can make a real difference in the lives of artisans, farmers, and their families. Often times, the products people buy are made in conditions that harm workers, communities, and the environment, as well as disproportionately benefit large companies rather than the producers themselves. However, the more consumers demand ethical and environmentally-conscious products, the better we can change the conditions under which products and food are produced.
