Trade+Reform

=Trade Reform= Trade is an essential aspect of our economy.

Fair Trade
Fair trade is when the US or another country trades goods from somewhere else. The origin at which these goods are produced are made by people who are fairly treated and payed. Fair trade goods are not made by unethical means such as child labor or dangerous work conditions. The US already imports fair trade good, but if you go to the supermarket today, only about 2-5 percent of the items there are fair trade. We believe that the percentage of fair trade goods we import should be raised to at least 70-80%. If the US can attain that, then it will save the child laborers and give the adult workers a fair pay and a save work environment because it will force companies to change their methods. Fair trading will also set an example for the rest of the world because they will be looked down on as more countries convert to fair trade.
