These days going "green"seems to be the new fad as we have all rushed out to buy special light bulbs, apliances, and even gone organic. But what about going green through Fair Trade? Many of us have yet to discover the beauty of Fair Trade and what it is. Fair Trade refers to exactly what the name is. It provides for people living in underdeveloped countries to sell to developed countries their goods such as cotton, coffee, gold, flowers, honey, ect. at reasonable prices. Why is this important? Unfortunately, most companies offer these under developed countries very little for their goods forcing them to put children and women to hard labor for very little as well. When we purchase fair trade, we are helping end child slavery and poverty. Fair Trade opens a door for people to LIVE. To work and get paid what they deserve.

So how does this relate to makeup? There are ingredients in makeup that can be bought through Fair Trade but instead are being bought the old fashioned way...unreasonably. While cosmetics brands become rich off of simply selling their name, the people raising their crops are dieing of hunger and WE can end this.
