End Human Trafficking

A Video Guide to Fair Trade Grocery Shopping

Published September 05, 2009 @ 09:00AM PT

Grocery shopping can be a daunting task, especially when you're trying to make more ethical purchases.  That's why I've created a short video guide to looking for a few, basic Fair Trade items at your local grocery store. 

Specialty stores and high-end grocery stores like Whole Foods often have a better selection of Fair Trade items.  However, I went to a store in a middle-class neighborhood.  They didn't have a lot of Fair Trade choices, but they had a few.  Watch the video below to see what I found.

 

As this is my first big step into the world of vlogging, I'd love your thoughts and feedback.  What sort of videos would you like to see on this site?

    What a very useful vlog!!!  Please keep it up!!!  The video format really brings home how easy it is to shop fair.  Perhaps, your next vlog could be on other kinds of shopping?  Whoever your camera person was also did a great job!!!

    This is incredible.  Thank you so much for this, Amanda!  I hope you keep making vlogs, too.  How about buying clothes?
