Way 10: Ask for It!

Store shelvesDon’t see Fair Trade products at a store or cafe that you frequent? Grab one of those comment cards, fill it out, and put it in the store’s suggestion box!

You can also print out one of these product request forms and bring it your local store or restaurant.

Bonus: Mention Fair Trade products directly to the manager, and let him or her know how happy you’d be to see those products in the store!

Don’t forget to tweet @FairTradeUSA what cafe or store you’ve hit up. This way, you’ll know if others in your area have done the same thing. The more comment cards for Fair Trade they receive, the better!
