By purchasing Fair Trade Certified (TM) coffee:

This logo guarantees that the coffee you are buy has been Fair Trade Certified (TM). (Logo copyright TransFair USA) Fair Trade Certification insures that producers of coffee recieve favorable working conditions and payment on farmer-owned cooperatives. Much Fair Trade Certified (TM) coffee is also certified organic and shade-grown, which protects the environment and the health of coffee farmers. Learn more about Fair Trade Certified (TM) coffee in the United States by visiting TransFair USA, the only non-profit third-party Fair Trade Certification organization in the United States, ask your local coffee shop to buy Fair Trade Certified (TM) coffee, and look for the logo to the right of this paragraph when buying coffee at the grocery store. (Note: the UW Guatemala Project is not affiliated with TransFair USA.)

If you are living in the Puget Sound area and would like to do more to promote Fair Trade Certified (TM) coffee, please visit the website of Fair Trade Puget Sound, a community organization working to double the availability of Fair Trade Certified (TM) coffee in the greater Seattle area.

University of Washington students, faculty, and staff can also support Fair Trade Certified (TM) coffee on the UW campus by working with the Fair Trade Coffee Coalition at the UW, a student-directed group that works to increase the availability of Fair Trade Certified (TM) drip and espresso coffee on campus.
