CRS helps U.S. reclaim Fair Trade title

There’s nothing like a healthy, fun competition to get Fair Traders going.  Last month, in honor of World Fair Trade Day, 56,892 participants in more than 450 U.S. events  (and the Fair Trade Resource Network is still counting) surpassed Finland’s 2008 record of world’s largest Fair Trade break.  Here at CRS in Baltimore we had 57 participants.

    I’m really not dressed as a mermaid. That nice, colorful thing on my back is meant to be a dorsal fin, which I don’t believe mermaids have. I also had fins for my hands, which I could BEAT together. Get it, BEAT THE FINS. Like the FINNS of Finland. Maybe you had to be there…
