Deborah Amos: Be honest: When you drop by your local coffeehouse . . .
Barista: Hi, how are you?
Amos: . . . do you ever think about the farmers who grew that coffee, thousands of miles away?
Customer: I need two, let’s see, two venti mocha frappuccinos with whipped cream.
Amos: When you pay the bill . . .
Barista: Eight twenty-nine!
Amos: . . . do you ever wonder, how much of this money will the coffee farmers and their families actually get?
Barista: What can I get for you?
Amos: An international network of activists wants you to start thinking about it, because they say they’ve figured out a simple way that you can affect the global economy and transform the lives of farmers: Look for coffee with the special label marked “Fair Trade.”
