Houston Fair Trade Standards to Follow Chicago, Milwaukee's Lead

A growing grassroots movement is pushing the Houston city council to become the first fair trade city in Texas. The campaign, launched by Houstonian Kendra Penry, calls on the city to follow in the footsteps of Milwaukee and Chicago and purchase fair trade certified goods when available, ensure ongoing education, and commitment to fair trade, and encourage the community to use, sell or provide fair trade products whenever possible.
