Join us on Saturday the 10th for World Fair Trade Day

One aspect of being a Conscious Consumer is being aware of the impact of our buying decisions on the lives of others. When we buy fairly-traded items, we're making sure that the workers involved in growing, harvesting and/or manufacturing the goods are being paid a living wage.

This Saturday, May 10th, is World Fair Trade Day. Conscious Consuming will be at two events and hope you will join us or get involved in something wherever you are.

We'll have a table at Youth Pride 2008. Look for us down on the Boston Common all day on Saturday.

We're also co-hosting a Fair Trade Show with Autonomie Project. Come check out Fair Trade Fashion and enjoy some complimentary organic wine and Equal Exchange Chocolate! For more info, just click on the invitation below or email info@autonomieproject.com

Boston Area events this week

Boston Green Drinks will meet up tomorrow, May 6, from 6:30 p.m. onward at Skipjack's, 199 Clarendon St., Boston. They have a private room, just to the left of the host station (though not in the bar, which is also to the left).

There will be an Energy Fair on Saturday, May 10th from 10:00 a.m.-2:00p.m. at the First Parish Church in Westwood at the intersection of Clapboardtree Street and Nahatan Street. There will be entertainment and food and the event is free!

Also, come visit us at Massachusetts Youth Pride, where we'll have a table about Conscious Consuming. Youth Pride, the country's oldest and largest gathering of GLBT youth, is on the Boston Common this Saturday, May 10th from 11am-5pm.

Hope to see you at one of these great events!
