Is fair-trade a meaningless "social washing" (think green washing but the social and worker justice version of it) label?
Anyone know anything about the legitimacy of fair-trade?
I consistently buy my coffee and chocolate with fair trade labels but would like to know if I've been tricked.
Please boost. Would like to hear from someone who is knowledgeable in this.
