Learn about Fair Trade at Trade Roots

Cheryl Moore, Neighbor

On October 9, Trade Roots, Arlington's first and only fair trade shop, will celebrate its one-year anniversary. At 7:30 pm, the public is invited to meet Mac McCoy, CEO of DZi, a Nepalese/US craft organization famous for its unique felted products. McCoy, a founding member of the US-based Fair Trade Federation, will talk about fair trade in Nepal and the craft of felting.

Trade Roots carries a range of fair trade products from around the world. Following fair trade principles, all Trade Roots products are not only eco-friendly and sustainable, but their artisans make a fair wage for their work.
