I do buy coffee that has the symbol for Rainforest Alliance on it, an organization which does some good.

I had quite forgotten about the jute angels, but now remember having five on our Christmas tree at home. I still lived with my parents, and was yet to meet the man who would become my husband.<br />I think 1979 was the year that I suddenly developed a social conscience, and realised how much unfairness and inequality there was around the world.<br />I've been doing my little bit since then, continue to use FairTrade products whenever possible and support my chosen charities, both at home and abroad.<br />I absolutely love Jamaican Blue Mountain Coffee, but as yet, none is available Fairtrade. However, I will only buy coffee from the Clifton Mount Estate, which is at least Rainforest Alliance certified. <br />As Jamaican Blue Mountain is a tad (!) expensive, I usually drink Café Direct Kilimanjaro, which is Fairtrade!<br />I may not dress in Kaftans and Afghan coats anymore, but the activist still lurks somewhere inside!
