When shopping for groceries like produce, spices, coffee and sugar at your local supermarket, one way you can help farmers thousands of miles away is to look for a fair trade symbol on the product. Fair trade is exactly what it sounds like: Fair wages for farmers and workers that not only help them thrive as farmers, but also improve their communities. One nonprofit organization that is helping farmers work in a free market society is Fair Trade USA. It has a handy shopping guide on its website -- fairtradeusa.org -- to help you find fair trade items when you go shopping.
